The car looks beautiful! I just painted my supra's headlight housings too, getting those damn things apart can be tricky!

Nice progress smile.gif Will be interesting to see how your projectors compare to smkr3w's ones when they are on the car smile.gif

BTW, there was a group by a couple of years ago on clear replacement lenses that were custom made... sometimes you can get lucky and find a set, but they are a rare find these days.

I know! I've been looking for a set of those replacement clears, but much to my dismay I can't find them. They're too rare! Someone has to bring them back!

In the meanwhile ill have to revert back to the drawing board on how I'm going to sand down my headlights..

Rayme doesn't make the clear lenses anymore, but there is a seller on eBay that always has several sets.

So it has been some time since I've worked on by 6GC... I just thought I would throw on a few more progression pictures.

I just installed a new dash kit by Lockwood...:



Also just got a new addition and project to work on. I was inspired by LED_BOY:

Love the dash kit! What's the part number? I would love to get this. Also I liked the hood dampers. Where did you get those? Are they OEM? I've been looking for them for a while. I must not be looking for them in the right place!

Hey the dash kit I actually found on E-Bay. I was just looking and really gave up on looking for new dash kits or dials. I had purchased SPREE's led kit and all though it was nice, it just didn't do justice for me. I really wanted to spiffy up the dash to make it look modern. Anyways, I have attached the link so that other people can get this!!!
Dash Kit

As for the hood dampers, I also got those from E-Bay and I was lucky that I found carbon fibre ones... They fit perfectly, however I am thinking of getting a carbon fibre hood (due to hail damage) and well.. I think that the dampers may be too strong, if I use them I'll end up folding the carbon fibre hood in half when I try to close it. We'll see. I tried to find the link for the hood dampers... however I was unsuccessful. Sorry!!

Anyways, some have asked me to add some more to my progression... As you all know, I just purchased some awesome JL Audio TW3 10" subs and want to put them in. Some may say that I am a copy cat, but I give much credit to LED-BOY's progression thread where he did the sound system for his wife. It has given me inspiration and I really liked the factory look of the final product. Here is what I have so far:




This is what I started off with, but just didn't look right... So I had to go back to LED-BOY's thread and well, I had to start again... I did some cutting with a dremel and made more space to work with:




Then I used a thinner box as it was easier to work with and contour the edges:




After all the box was lined, I then sealed all the corners with masking tape and now I'm ready to start applying resin and fibreglass:




Cant wait until I start laying fibreglass down and things start to take shape. Ill post more as I go!!!

So some updates as I go. I have been trying to find time to actually lay the fibreglass into the molds. This is what I have so far. It doesnt look too bad for a first timer.




Now I'm having a hard time removing the tape from the half enclosure... Any suggestions... I'm thinking a blade and some patience... I figured a sander would help but the adhesive from the pate would just gum the sand paper all up and render it useless...

At this point all I am doing is strengthening the box enclosure so that there is minimal vibration. Once I figure out how to get all the tape off, I need to start to place the mounting points to the car and for the 10" sub mounts.

I unpacked my subs as well just to see how beautiful they are, and boy are they a beaut!!!

So I ran into an issue. Im trying to change the wheel bearing on the front driver side of my 6GC... And I cannot remove the upper ball joint. I think that it might be seized.. Does anyone know of a good way to take it off of the hub assembly? I sprayed it with some WD40 to loosen it, but I don't think that it is going to help.

HELP please!

Never mind.. I took a hammer to it and it just needed more force than I was giving it. Just didnt want to damage anything...
