I wondered what happened and missed your updates and fact based logic in your build. Overall I'm glad to see you are still kicking!

Thank you for sharing your creative ideas with us. I'm glad this book isn't finished and I look forward to the next update.

Also count me as glad to hear you are ok!

Question on the headlights: do you remember any details about the stainless mesh you used, and how you installed it? You mentions that they were from off-road Jeeps, so I'll go hunt for those. I like that look, might consider something like that for TOW...

John,

Good to hear you are recovering! I had no idea you'd had a heart attack. Glad you are okay.

Doug

Thanks guys! I'm feeling good and started back to work a couple days ago. Self employed with no insurance, so a month of no pay and a stack of medical bills combined with pay as I go office visits to doctors for follow up provided a lot of incentive to get back at it.

Carbuff; the screens are designed to hold the headlight in place like the stock ring with 3 mounting tabs. The issue is that the 3 tabs for the Jeep application don't line up quite where you'd want them on the Firebird buckets in order to have the screen grid horizontal/vertical. So you need to modify the tabs a bit and drill a couple holes in order to make them look nice and straight.

Thanx for that John. It's helpful!

On a completely unrelated topic. I googled for some information about 2nd gen subframes the other day and ran across a thread you started a few years ago. TransAm Country I think it was.
