I'd just have a few things fixed and get the body shop to cut you a refund check for part of it. They'd be glad to do it for you considering how large the repair is.

A little extra jingle in the pocket is always good.

paint the fenders burgundy, paint the tanks burgundy and chrome the straps, run 9 inch round lights with flipped 359 brackets, get that bumper you posted, shave the horns off the roof and the cab lights.

How do you get a ticket for having LED's? I thought they were a good thing to have? What they gonna ticket you next for, riding on the floor? :lol:

I think it was because the marker lights weren't clearly visible to the naked eye.

I know I'd look into some of the custom hoods. Some of those outfits have come up with some interesting designs. I've seen some that have great original styling and are more efficient both in terms of drag and heat dissipation. I'm thinking of looking into one for no good reason :lol:

No party pooping in this thread jonboy. No fiscal responsibility either.

Fiscal responsibility went out the door. Just finished at the body shop. Here's how he's writing it up right now. This is still just a plan, though:




LaSalle fenders with 41 Chevy headlights



Louver style grill with painted grill surround - badges shaved and custom made grab handle



20" American Eagle bumper



Dropped BowTie painted visor - painted mirror brackets



Custom made Mafia full fender (basically 2 of the half fenders welded together and painted blue)

Horns shaved off roof, replaced with 2 extra marker lights

Some possibilities for other changes that will be explored if money allows:

-Ghost flames
-Painted Tanks
-Exhaust pipes
-Painted wheels

I like it all, it'll look sharp. Post some pics when you're done.

It was a pleasure helping you spend your money!
Painted wheels is interesting, I don't think I've ever seen that.
I'm a little jealous, I can't wait to do mine.
Truckdobe would have been fun on this thread, but I ain't seen them lately.
