I have a DeWalt hammer drill that works great. Hell of a deal too, $100 for drill, two batteries, and a charger. Reg price was $250.
Holy drillbits Batman!

I like my Makita personally.

Actually bought the Makita Lithium 1/2" impact gun for helping when modding stuff. Blasts those bolts right off :biggrin:

Seriously. This Makita 18V lithium kit blows my old Craftsman 18V NiCad away. Batteries keep their charge when sitting far longer, there is no risk of ruining the runtime of the battery when doing a partial charge, and it runs so much longer than the NiCad ever did.

I still have the old craftsman set that I should probably put on Craigslist or something.

Trimmed my weatherstrip after taking off the plastic pillar trim and pulled the body moldings off, and cleaned the glue off. Now I have to get rid of the molding lines tomorrow cause the wife pulled me off, the project company is coming over....lol. And looking at the LEDs and trying to figure where to start

Well how'd you get them off? Everything that I've seen posted about them is that wiper arm pullers tend to break so most people use battery terminal pullers
Held hand behind portion of wiper arm left after you lift it up, then put a bolt on and twist it to the top of the stem holding the wiper arm in, then hit it with a hammer lol

:cool: Sometime to those not affected by the Mod Bug, it may look at times as if one is destroying or parting out their TB/Voy when simply we're trying to feed the one known as "the bug" :cool:

-Painting air vents, wiper cowl, and wiper arms black today

JimmyJam stopped by today to provide mod support. He dropped off his previous underglow strips and brackets. Not quite my thing, but I am thinking underhood lighting for sure. Need to scoop up one of those hood switch triggers. :undecided:

I still have to order mine :thumbsup: Was thinking of the 7-color one that LEDGLOW has, that way while parked at meets or car shows I can have it be blue instead of just green, which is what I WAS gonna get to match my wheel well LEDs

You are going to :rotfl: , but I had an underglow lights under my 1993 Ford Thunderbird. The car was green so I had green underbody lights. One down each side of the vehicle and one under the front and rear bumper. I also had green stobe lights in the headlights :blinkhuh:

I had them installed prior to the first Fast and Furious coming out [emoji3]

Sad thing was is that I had them on a Ford :nono:

I had them on all the time as soon as the sun went down. I also had the Street Glow license plate frames front and rear to match the underbody kit :duh:

To top that I found some random halogen headlight bulbs that had a crazy coating on them that produced every color in the rainbow.

If I could go back in time, I would have smacked myself and asked what the hell I was thinking :rotfl:

Whoa whoa whoa!!! Its just my opinion bro, if you like streetglow go for it. I'm not gonna make fun of you or anything. Everybody likes different stuff :smile:
Now that I think about it, that'd be O.D. for my TB, i've already got the green wheel well LEDs, don't want people to think of my rig as a joke.

I have to say on a TB, I do like the wheel well LEDs. I kinda like JimmyJam's underglow on his TBSS.

I had the crazy idea of having LEDs installed under the wiper cowl, to have some sort of glow come from out the the screen like mesh on it, maybe put strobes in ther even? It'd be cool to see at a meet I think

Wonder how much of a glare that would put on the windshield and/or be annoying while driving :undecided:
