      i will definitely check into that. in that case i wont worry about masking when i go to tint them. and ill just put new striping on after. thanks for the idea

      thanks man, the next few updates on the body will be of me taking care of rust spots. the body is all solid except for one tiny place where theres a hole, unless i find some unknowns beyond the rocker trim. that scares me a bit. but i will def keep it updated with that progress and the tinting.

      speaking of tinting. window tint is coming relatively soon to the tune of a nice 30%.

                Okay...you will need to put a coat of polish on it every few months or it will dull and oxidize fairly quickly. Looks good though, I think the satin would have been out of place

                      well the satin was orignal. or "flat" or what ever one would call it. i just wanted to make it different cause it needed repainted anyway. this coat is in no way permanent. it has little speckles in it and is still a bit rough. i plan to sand it and coat it a few more times to really finish it. this was just enough to get the car back driving again as shes my daily

                            oh no mang i just need dimensions of the holes and pics of how they mount.. i have the lights but my base model needs holes cut to fit them and i want to get them as close to original location as possible

                            are you parting the 91 or something?

                              I know 86vickylx did this to one of his fenders at least. The thing I don;t understand is that the mounting provisions are inlayed in the sheet metal. How on earth can everything sit flush afterwords?
