    I finally found a set of bumper guards for these bumpers. Time to cut tail lights in the rear ones. I'm on cloud 9 right now.

    I had time to roll her out and take a good 360 degree look. I'm not sold on the front bumper guards.

    Cool stance on your cruiser! Sorry to hear you aint pleased with bumperguards... Reshape them with a little tiltback and then level back the "tops" again-just a tip because i think they look good in the front

    Jocktherock, yea I need to do something. They're just too tall. They hang down too much under the bumper and they are angled out too much.

    I'm going to think about it for a bit. On a good note I love the way the back ones look. And at least I own a set now. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

    So I know I'm jumping around here but I'll work on the tail lights tomorrow. So today I worked on the doors. I made wire looms using brake lines. A great idea my friend Robbie told me. Then I started on the garnish moldings. I'm trying to make them fit tight but fxck they are big.

    I know the last picture is hard to tell but it's already dark out so its the best that I can do for now.

    Tomorrow back on the tail lights.

    My good friend Kyle Martin brought me over this sweet gem. He drew a sweet concept of my Buick. Best present ever.
