    Natehawk 1985 cv re-birth

    OK guys she's been sitting few a few years....She still runs great just needing a good paint job and body work here and there.....Im dropping the Marauder wheels for a set of Cragar SS wheels 17"....I have the big brake swap up front so cant go smaller then 16" anyway....I have a few questions....I need to replace my passenger over axle tale pipe in which I know the impy tails work for us but the one I do see on Summit Racing says driver side only....Any one can point me in the right direction on this one?

    I just ordered a new off road H-pipe b/c the one I had was brought used years ago when Scott installed it for me but now im going new.

    I'll be removing the soft top b/c im tired of cracks on soft tops after a few years. Adding pinstrip and no damn side molding this time.....

    Im swapping my rear tail lights back over to the CV ones, I have another set of the ones with the LTD logo on them but the other ones look alot cleaner so I'll just use those for now...

    Now the last thing I need is a rear bumper...I found a used parts dealer based out in FL but they want almost $400 for a rear bumper and the guy says its in real good condition....I have checked all the u pull it yards and a few other yards and the ones I found were damaged.....Any leads or anyone that may have one for sale let me know...Here is a few quick pics plenty more to follow she will be going to the exhaust shop in a week and then off to the paint shop...

    any leads for any parts that may help please feel free to comment or respond...

                    Just been working, had a baby girl she's almost 2 years old now and got married finally. So I haven't had too much time. But the Marauder is sitting at 545 rwhp last Dyno. Picked up a 01 CV as a daily driver. And now it's the LTD's time to shine.
