Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
I guess you would just attach a ring to your brakedrum, since that part isnt turning. wiring can be done along the brakeline. find some RBG ledstrips with controller and glue the stuff together..
justpball probably took some more time, but in basic that is what I would do!

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
Buy TWO steering wheel lace on type covers. Get the kind that are cushiony, I think they have a little dense polyurethane foam backing. Wrap the first cover from the far (front) side of the steering wheel, wrap the second cover from the close (rear) side of the steering wheel. This keeps the steering wheel much cooler in hot weather and creates a thick, modern style steering wheel. Much better than the skinny old style steering wheel. About $10 for two covers at O'Reilly or Pep Boys.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
Havent done it yet, but Im going to install a hidden kill switch that hooks up to my electric fuel pump. My idea is to gut out the cig lighter and wire it up so it looks like a regular lighter but would actually be the kill switch by pushing it in.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
If someone isn't smart enough to put gas in when the gauge reads empty, they prolly are stupid enough push it when the needle goes passed "E."

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
He's talking about the sending unit mod from earlier. I for one have never ran out of gas. There's a gauge that tells you when you are about to run out. When it nears the empty mark....I fill it back up. Simple. I have no sympathy for people who run out.

Re: Your Favorite Budget MODs ($50)
Upgraded from the stock "wet crotch" drink holder (cost $0) & put a nice little brass screen door knob on my replacement column shift lever (cost $0).
