Headlight modification?

eastwest2300 · 08-09-2012, 01:33 PM

how long does it take to pull off the bumper?

dmhenderson · 08-09-2012, 01:37 PM

Well if there are like 6 of us there, we can all work on 2-3 cars at a time which would probably be more efficient anyway.

Like 10 mins or so.

Well there it is! Thats what we'll do, moving cars isnt that big of a deal, 2 or 3 people focusing on one car at a time, busting them out. I say we get one at a time done, in and out, and on to the next, I think we can knock out up to 10 cars in what? 6 to 7 hours easily.

I got a service jack, jack stands, and all the tools that we should need. My oven will only fit a set of headlights at a time, soo... if we have 2 teams, one team will be removing bumpers, the other team, will be disassembling the headlights, we'll use tape to mark whos who, and go from there.

We can make it VERY efficient, if everyone does there part.

Nah we should do more than one at a time. I think 2-3 sounds good. We will be spending some time waiting for paint to dry so we might as well make the best of that time. Make sure to reserve parking spots for us that day

Bumper is super easy to take off and ramps would make life a lot easier if anyone has a set.

No plans to do this mod but looking forward to the results

eastwest2300 · 08-09-2012, 01:49 PM

I'll let all my neighbors know whats going on, and my lawn out in front of the house, is more than big enough to hold 10 bumpers, easily.

eastwest2300 · 08-09-2012, 01:49 PM

I have a set of ramps.

eastwest2300 · 08-09-2012, 01:51 PM

I hate to state the obvious, but fellas, its gonna be hot, you're gonna get your hands dirty, and we're gonna need a full day to get this done, I'd like to have everyone here at my house around 9am, 8 would be better, but 9 is reasonable.

Masa · 08-09-2012, 01:53 PM

I also have a jack and a pair of jackstands if you guys need more.

eastwest2300 · 08-09-2012, 01:54 PM

Dude, Im sooo stoked for this.

Screw that! Just start at 10 like every other meet we do.

With the limited space, I don't think I'll be able to paint my wheels that day, so it will have to be just the headlights.

falconfixer · 08-09-2012, 01:55 PM

Sounds like y'all have a place to do this but in the future if you need a lot of space hit me up. Only bitch is it's a hike for some of you guys and the road coming in is gravel. Road hasn't ****** my car up but I know some folks don't like to drive on it.

If no one has yanked a bumper off yet I might be able to swing by depending on the day and lend a hand. Had mine off when I installed the cooler.
