I got pink eye yesterday so I took advantage of the situation and stayed home today to work on my own stuff. After some quick brake repair on the Amphi I assembled all of the gutter and window molding on the Monaco, the rear lights and moldings, and the proceeded to modify the front bumper by shortening the shocks and then relocated the bumper guards inwards so as not to interfere with the future push bar and to give it more of a '74 look.

I was thinking of buying another '74 grille and cutting it up to make a lower grille for this bumper so it be even less noticeable that it's a Royal bumper.

Any plans for front turn signals?

They're behind the lower grille, in the stock '74 location. I just don't have any heat shrink here to wire them. I cut '94 Chevy pickup marker lights in half and they fit in there.

Any plans for front turn signals? I temporarily wired up the left one to show you what I have in there.

Thanks Bismo, I can't wait to finish assembling and get my stencils from your guy. I'm still waiting on a reply from TK on the P1 and star, or I'm working on something myself as a backup.

I had a low production day today. I installed my mirror which reminds my why i hate Ebay sometimes. I Bought a manual mirror for this car way back but it isn't for this car, it doesn't cover the holes in the door so I panel bonded my broken remote mirror back together and reinstalled it, then assembled the door panel. I also soldered the wires and hooked up my front parking lights before remembering I have to wire in my side markers, oops! now I have to untape the wires and splice into them.

As far as I know, you're the first person to do that! Great pics, Adam. So ... how did your daughter react to her new Blumo?

So ... how did your daughter react to her new Blumo? She loved it, we drove up and down the driveway several times today after i got home and she plays in it constantly when I'm working on it. She refers to it as "My Blues Brothers car".

Low production day again, fixed 2 taillight sockets, and farted around a little. I have a problem with my dash lights, when you have thm turned up the green turn signal arrows light up with them and the blue high beam indicator glows with the low beams on, so does the red warning light on the AMPs gauge, and everything pulsates. With the dash lights turned all the way down the high beam indicator works normal and the light on the AMPs gauge goes out. Anyone ever experience anything like this? All of the outside lights are fine and work as they should. Check out my new antenna.
