Those sure look nice.

yep, exactly...
$40 would be for a 24" x 12" magnet and whatever vinyl you want on it... your #'s, class, etc..

guess i can *try* to cut them out individual (supposed to be able to cut this stuff w/ scissors...


edit: Figured it out, starting new thread

and to keep on topic, installed my new taillights last night (black altz i bought from tooslow) - used "goop" to reseal one of 'em, dont like how i turned out, guess its *ok*, just i dunno.. couldnt do a fine line using that stuff...

I only have 3/5 of my SS brake and clutch lines on. I need to have two of my hard lines cut and reflared because the stock fittings and lines are too rusted together to come apart (yes, I've tried whatever it is you wanted to suggest trying)

yes, I used:

- a propane torch (heated until it was glowing)
- proper flare nut wrenches
- some other torch (not mine.. I think it was MAPP or somethin?) that an acquaintance brought over.
- pb blaster
- pb blaster + torch
- torch + pb blaster
- swearing

When I burned off one of my stock brake lines.. the swearing was quite loud. Luckily, I was able to get that one off. I wish our brake lines used banjo fittings on both ends. I've never had an issue with a banjo fitting rusting out on me >_<
