Not all my idea. Saw it done by another guy. And it was the cheapest route. But I installed mine from under the hood to cut down on wind catching them. I rivited them down. And plan on coming back on top with fiberglass or silicone. Not sure. Might just leave it like that.

Nice, I didn't think of mounting the from underneath. Although I kinda get antsy when I get to cut up stuff and kinda fly thru things until sparks are flying haha

Does your horn work? If not, the cruise problem is probably a broken clockspring.

Been fighting the pass/ door for weeks, top pin refuses to budge. I'm gonna cut the lower hinge too and try lifting the door like Tim said.

Anyways I ended up getting him inside the shop and on the lift, trying to diagnose my random ABS events.

You guys and your cake pans are crazy. Lol 10 bucks on hood vents isn't bad...but mine, I picked up some cheap 1.50$ aluminum vents from menards (found them In building materials by the gutter stuff) with screens already in them and 6 pre drilled holes for rivets. 3 bucks into hood vents not to shabby.

I wish they were still that good looking, I mean they are but I've stepped on the drivers side like 4 times now climbing out and going to the winch. So it's a little disfigured but its all good. Function over form!
