Now waiting on my new mirrors so i can get replace the elefant ones.
1st gen rear bumpers in that condition are rare (especially since its not the chrome plated)...spray it with something like wd-40 & store it inside if possible.
spray the whole bumper or just all the bolts and nuts. And i have the bumper in the shed away from water.
i'd spray the whole bumper...in new england everything rusts like its on fire...i have my trucks sprayed with a heated combination of bar & chain oil mixed with wax.
im still waiting on my LED lights so i can replace the old dim cluster bulbs.
I went to school with old dim cluster bulbs. They ended up getting all the GOOD jobs...why is that?
The greatest gift you have to give to the world is that of your own self~transformation.
so i got a hold of some carbon fiber wrap. i will be removing the old trim and replacing it with carbon see how it comes out.20141001_074820.jpg20141001_074827.jpg20140927_101519-1.jpg
...you guys get all da good stuff. I haven't seen a D-50 (L200) with amp and oil pressure gauges in the centre console here in Australia
think my 2wd parts truck has that console
been really busy sorry for the long wait.
but here is my first time vinyl lol. yes theirs a chunk missing on the bottom right. my daughter got a hold of the wrap and this is all i had left that was good. so when i get more in i will redo it.20141011_132651.jpg20141011_132748_Richtone(HDR).jpg

Wow! What a great 'look'!!

Hmmm, wonder where I've seen that done before A little 3D carbon look film is subtle but has just the right impact. I'm going to do the whole instrument panel surround when I get the chance. Might even pull the bezel out of the cluster and do that too...
i know the white walls have to go looks funky lol
did some sticker removing the other day. the sticker was stuck on pretty good. i tried a heat gun and well it didnt work to good. so i had to get a eraser wheel. well that did the job pretty good.
OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Its nakked!!! those stripes didn't look like they were in that bad of shape... got to lose the whitewalls next...

I did a respray on the front bumper and grill. I have new head lights but im waiting for my hid kit to arrive. I also found some mirrors I like. I should be receiving them soon as well.
That looks really different without the stripes. Have plans for a pin stripe maybe or keeping yellow?
Front grill looks really good too. Makes me think about doing mine now.
@bradmph i dont think ima pin stripe it. as soon as i save a little im going to get it repainted same yellow.
yes!...i have always loved the corvette canary yellow
