Jeff. Question for you... If I buy an pre-1970ish car and chop all the vin and attach it to my GS...will I still need to smog? LOL...

Damn, since you have everything off, I would plan to run wires for future upgrades to something. Since you will be repainting anyways... do some custom side markers, switches, etc...

crazy 19killz. LOL..

Up most respect, man. Also, are you going to do a wire tuck? It will clean up all the clutter. Your youtube videos are funny!

Much respect. I know how much work it is. I stripped everything down to a shell (minus the dash) and had the whole car painted.

Kudos to you because I will never do that again.
