So, I am guilty of complaining how facebook & instagram killed the forums but I havent posted on here in forever. I am just as guilty of posting on IG & facebook more than here myself.

Not much new with the 76, just getting cleaned up for our yearly indoor show coming up.

Here are some pics I'll share....

Not too bad for a 17-18 year old paint job that my Dad did....

UPDATE ON THE LED HEADLIGHTS WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING ABOVE...

So, I noticed a while back that the drivers side headlight lens/housing had a haze to it kind of like it was fogging or a dirty pretty much all the time. Although not that noticeable it drives me nuts. I tried contacting Stark about it & never heard a single word back. :mad:

Then Saturday, after arriving to a local car show I discovered that the passengers side lens was cracked all the way across. There was no "point of impact" like a got hit with a rock or anything so I don't think that was the issue.

So, with these 2 issues & the lack of being able to get customer service, I plan to remove these lights & go back to old school lights until (or even if) I find another set that I like enough to try.

I was happy with the look of the lens in the beginning with them not having any wild designs or company logos all over them & even the performance of the lights but I just don't think they are all that great of quality of product.
(And take in to consideration my truck is not daily driven or even driven that much all)

Just wanted to give an update since so many of you had posted or messaged me about these.

I ordered them from their eBay store shortly after you purchased. After payment they sent me a message saying the sealed beam was defective and it would be approximately 6 weeks. They refunded my money and I planned to go another route. After waiting and never found anything that had that classic look I noticed they were available again. Hopefully I won't have any issues.

I'm curious too. I have a Sniper sitting in the box waiting for me to finish up with my suspension on the Blazer.

How/where did you route the wiring for your sniper? I have mine all bundled up over by the blower motor for now an it looks horrible. I spent over an hour trying to find a clean way to do it but seemed it was too short for one direction and to long for others. Your engine bay looks great, I have some serious clean up to do on mine :(

I'm really happy overall with my sniper as well. Ready to add timing control to it now when I have the time.

May I ask what paint you used for the black?

Not this go round. I went no heat no air to clean things up. At some point in the future I will do a vintage air set up when I tear into the truck a little deeper.

It looks amazing. I'm working with Mike Losh on a RestoMod Air system for Elwood. It may be something for you.;)

A little interior update....
I wanted to change up the polished billet trim pieces that I felt looked a little dated.
So, i had the dash bezel piece, the right side dash piece, the door panel insert pieces & the steering wheel (and adapter) powdercoated Matte Stealth Charcoal.
Then I added an original style dash emblem back to the dash insert.

I am pleased with the way it turned out & will be much easier to maintain than the polished aluminum too!
