    That's why I'm keeping mind. Get pics! I dig looking at them.



    On that, I've considered making a steel hood for it just to be different

    I've picked it up again now that the Jeep is not here for the week. Took a breath and looked, got the tranny hooked up and shifting, steering is in, need to make a mount for the column. I'm going to brave the junkyard again to get some hardware I need. One of the guys there was a friend of mine til I realized what he was doing to me and about me... So he's not on good terms with me and wants to fight me. Shall be interesting, I'm bringing my brother...

    Here's my shopping list
    Coupler set bolt
    Brake booster res for super beetle
    Bolts for brake booster
    Bolts for pedal assembly to tunnel
    Clutch cable/ adjust nut
    Clutch cable tube
    Accelerator cable <Possibly from blue buggy/pre shortened?
    Accelerator cable tube from pan to engine
    Roller pedal?????????




    Then from a parts dealer, brake shoes and hardware, brake lines, steering wheel. It's coming.

    Maybe in some crazy scheme to make a profit Empi made more then 1 pair of those seats ;)
    They're too wide for my buggy though, I need something narrower. I like the race seats though :/

    Once again, just 1 Daylighter Patrick..... R) R)


    I'm considering the wide 5 VW wheels that are wide in the rear, with the slots as seen above. And smoothies in the front with hub caps, as seen in the picture with the bumper in the background. Smoothies just look sexay but i need the width on the rear for tires

    OK Sammy...Take that (or your Jeep) out at night and try that one KC. Then put another one up there (you know, a pair) and check out the difference...Those pencil beams are narrow. I used to run 6 of those on the roof of my Blazer...I could see!!!!

    There. Now you know it bugs me. Mission accomplished:D

    If you want to stay with prime numbers, I think three KC's would look good on that lightbar.

    The Jeep that has just one has more than enough light with it. I can't tell a difference between it and the GMC which has 2. The buggy though, will be going faster off road then the GMC or the Jeep, so one on the bumper it goes (need room, planning on a winch) and I'll put 4 on the upper roll cage front hoop when I build it. IMHO, the guys that have like 40 Daylighters on anything look like fools.
    I have the flood and daylighter, along with the 2 headlights and parking lamps on the front of the Jeep, one flood on the rear, and I like it.

    [​IMG]
    Low headlights, front rock lights and flood light, one daylighter
