Hi Gang,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Final Update of 2014! Enjoy!
After a quick run to the home improvement store I picked enough bolts to mount the new lower light bars on Chewie's side
I actually had to pull this light bar apart and remove 1/16" material - it wasn't lining up against the back panel... ugh...
From the back - perfect fit!
Then it was time to attempt the impossible... Can I take apart the nose panel without having to redo ALL the pin striping????? I removed the lower 1x4
Taped off the pin striping so they wouldn't be damaged, Secured a cut guide into place. The guide worked perfectly!
Lower piece sitting in place - so far so good
I made the cut but it wasn't pretty... at ALL (NO PICS) My hands were SO cold I flubbed a few areas.
I have to remove another 1/16th". Better to have too much material than too little. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can pull this off. If need be, I'll pin stripe again.
That's it for 2014! WHEW... What a year! I want to thank each and everyone out there who has taken the time to read, comment and contribute to the build! THANK YOU! You guys/gals are the reason we are doing this project. We all appreciate your support and hope to carry on into 2015 and beyond!
Happy New Year, Gang! Celebrate with family and friends! But most important... Be Safe! We'll See Ya Next Year!
