    I layed on my shoulders on the floor and looked up under the dash and put the LED bars up where I wanted them. Then I used little zip ties to "hang" them under there. Some of the zip ties are around other wiring bundles, etc that's under there.

    They have been under there for a few years and all is perfect. I dont have the zip ties very tight on them either. That way I can rotate the LED bar to make the glow go where I want it.

    :thumbsup: Very nice. Details on the hood LED's/location please.

    Edit: When I first looked @ the hood pic I thought there were 2 LED locations and now that I look @ it more I'm thinking it's a light bar... some of it is hidden behind the weather strip?

    Thanks, I used the l.e.d lights on a roll from eBay for the bed & I had about 3' left. They just peel & stick I cleaned the metal behind the weather strip & stuck the lights to it ran the wires down the hood behind the braces & hooked them to the battery. I also added a switch to the plastic radiator shroud.

    Here's the link to the l.e.d's

    Got the interior done today. Above cup holders, cubby next to steering wheel, glove box, rear cup holders, console storage & that cup holder thing that only a can fits in (I think it's for an ashtray).

    Awesome! I'm gathering parts for same layout. Now I know what mine will look like before it's done. Ha ha. I really like your subtle approach - very classy - though I'm considering adding a single 5mm to each pocket in the doors too.

    I haven't decided yet, is it the 25th-27th? If so that's my birthday weekend & I don't know what the wife has planned yet. If I do it will just be for the day.
