progress as of this evening. Looks great! Not all the joints are welded. Still need NASCAR bars & subframes. Would require a lot of thrashing to get ready though

It sucks to have to drink Busch Light and eat frozen pizzas a lot.

I drink Milwaukee's Best Ice and eat Ramon Noodles. Same concept.

Morgan - I just did the headlight mod a couple of weeks ago on my 95. I literally sat in the garage and stared at the car to figure out what to do. I couldn't think of anything at first so left it for a week thinking about it.

What I ended up doing was buying an aluminum strip and making two short pieces per headlight side. On each side, I drilled holes through the aluminum and through the hood and threaded bolts through them to attach the headlight cover to the hood. When I was done, I painted the heads of the bolts the color of the car.

My real motivation in going this way was to keep with my theme on the car - I can return it to a street-legal state to pass PA state inspections in less than one day. I have the headlight assemblies, motors and mounting hardware stored in a convenient spot for quick re-installation.

I can take some pictures if you like.
