Nice looks great! Red looks good on wagons.

Maybe get a turbo hood?

Welcome. not a bad buy at all for 300. I had the exact hood you needed but ended up selling it a few months back. O well shipping woulda been rediculous. Anyways best of luck with everything!!

Hood is Better Shape than Mine by a long shot.
will sand, putty, prime, & Paint. just don't know when.

Side markers are the broken ones i had. but drilled holes and screwed them in...LOL

Yeah, those side marker retainers are a shit design. When the tabs don't break, the clips do.

ok. what about the Support (were hood latch is) ? that ok or would i have to cut it out of the donor ?

I think the post-face life hood is a bit longer, but I can't verify on if the hood latch lines up or not. You don't like the preface lift front end??

not that i dont like it. hard to find parts.
so if something breaks gonna be hard to find replacement parts.
took about 2 weeks to find the hood. and its not perfect

3" lift is on !

cant wait to get bigger tires.
but that runs into some money

And if you clean up the undercarriage with flat paneling, it shouldn't even hurt you in mileage.
