Friday! We're almost all packed and ready, I will do an oil change and check the brakes and torque the hub bolts and wheel lug nuts on Tuesday, Sweetie is getting her Moms stuff packed up.
I've got some things for 843de , we'll meet up with him on Friday afternoon.
The new catalytic converter has been properly broken in, the front hubs are done, rear brakes need to be cleaned and adjusted.
The cat has it figured out!

dude that cold air scoop is about as redneck as you can get

LED Projectors

This project is canceled after I cut off the back of the reflector and bored out the hole to fit the LED bulb. After making room for the bulb, and testing the projector with the light, I can't get the assembly to focus. This, due to the fact that the LEDs only point to the sides 180 degrees apart, no forward facing light, and a big bulb housing with a large end cap squeezed into a realatively small reflector. This is not unexpected, just a little disappointing.

I have adjusted the LED bulbs in their assembly and adjusted the assembly in the halogen reflector housing and am getting better light dispersion, so for now, the LED bulbs stay.

Fog Lights

CorvetteMongo,

The graphics look good!

I ordered a set of Depo fog lights today and a OEM switch for a factory add on. I'll be following the how to thread. Hopefully they work, just without the dash light. But if I have to get the computer updated, I guess I'll be handing over Chevy of Guam a small fortune.
