    You don't have a choice.... :p

    Ok sounds good. I'm thinking with the Holidays next week some of us will have time off during the week days. I was thinking maybe the day after Thanksgiving will work. Or that weekend.

    Black Head Light Mod.

    Painting all the unnecessary chrome to black. Doesn't affect the output, just makes it look a lot better.

    I'll be doing a retro, fitting in HID projectors into the stock housing so you get a great output.

    - paint for BHLM
    - silicone - what kind to get? (the black stuff at lows that is high temp, not the soft stuff. I can bring some)
    - paint for the piss colored turn signals - what kind to get?
    - masking tape (optional... you can actually just pull the portions of the lights apart you don't want to paint)
    - Window sealer (autozone, to properly re-seal the lights)
    - Beer
    - Strippers

    I have the 21st - 26th off.. Looking like Saturday the 24th might be the best day.

    We will be limited on how many we can do in a time frame.. I only have one oven.

    Supplies shouldn't be an issue. There is a Home Repo, Vatozone, and Lowes all with in 2 miles from my house.

    Realistically one should be more than adequate... it only takes about 10-12min to heat up the light. Figure 1hr total per truck of heat time...

    Yeah. Your just heating the oven to 350. Then turning it off. Putting the lights in for 10-15 minutes tops. Done. Same for resealing.

    Ah ok.. I did't know it was that fast of a process to get them apart.

    Still I'd like to keep this at no more than 5 sets of head lights for the day. I don't care if more people come but I want everyone to be able to get a chance to fix/work on their lights.

    I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving weekend but if its on another weekend then I can come and help out.
    The longest part is going to be watching the paint dry. I'm sure we can get 5 sets done in a day.
