well picked up the vert off of ben(tabs) for a dd. working cleaning it back up and keeping a factory look. just how i like to be. there will probably not be a whole lot of modding going on with it because i need it reliable. most likely will be a lot of repairs and refreshing old parts and a place to dump my pics.

so far i worked on getting the rear quarter and trunk lined up better. still will be doing more adjusting..





cut the 96 brackets out and put in the 00 brackets. along with adding my old stock z bumper with a lip i got from ben also. i also put the black head lights and turns from the 4 door because i like them better.










plans are to refinish the hood. add lip and 00 z spoiler to the rear, and my silver 18's. besides paint that is all i really have planned.

Where's my flares! Lol. I'm ready when u are. Good to see the drop top still living on...

So how many j's do you have now?

I just swapped headlights on mine and could not figure out a way to cut the corner light brackets off without removing the fender. I tried with a dremel but was going through cutting blades like there was no tomorrow. Grinder was too big to get in there. I ended up removing the fender and drilling out the spot welds in fear I would damage the fender. What did you use to cut your brackets off? Nice work so far. You planning on painting it at some point?

Use lucas oil additive for the ld9. Helps big time. I like the stock look with a lip. I went the same route.


GMR has got nothing on this

actually there are 2 spot welds on top and bottom and one bracket that i cut. i didn't want to hastle with the pulling the fender. if you remove the 2 bolts in the upper rail, the fender will move out about 6". then you can get to everything easily. i also used and air grinder with a cut off wheel to cut just on tab off.

yeah i might try the lucus.

thanks guys. just wish it was warm so i could paint it and i am so suprised how high it sits. i am definitely use to the sedan laying on the ground look. lol

When I removed the corner brackets on my old fenders, I just took some tin snips and cut it off, then filed down the edges. It sounds ghetto, but eff it. It worked out well lol. Good luck, dude. I'm expecting this to come out as nice as the sedan did.

i know. i even thought of pulling this hood for a stock hood. tho. like i told ben earlier today i'm just looking for clean. nothing flashy so no one should want to mess with it.
