No excuses though, I like the idea of disconnecting the light to replace rather than cut wires or desolder.

I tied into the gauge pack to use as ambient lighting.

Was just messing with you and wanted to see who would ask who Rube Goldberg
was. Showing my age LOL. Good luck with your wiring.

Picked up and got new wheels mounted, they look great and weigh noticably less, was a little pissed because I had to spend 4 hours fixing stuff after I paid someone to mount\balance them and so on, but not going to write my usual essay on it, can just check my build thread for whole story, might have been too hard on the blame but I am just now calming down from sinking half my day into something that should've been much more simple. Also big thanks to the guys on here who helped me in the process of choosing these.

Nice wheels, Are the tires stock size? , from the picture they look stretched on the rims.

I wasn’t insulted. It gave a me an opportunity to talk about something I enjoy doing I work in industrial controls, I’m shocked that I have not got around to putting a PLC in it to automate something. It’s in my blood.

It’s all good.

Yup, stock sized 245s in the front and 275s in the read, new wheels are 20x10.5 in the rear and 20x9 in the front, current tires are practically brand new so I didn't want to buy new set just yet. Only thing is I'm not sure about is what pressure to keep them at, I've read people saying 40psi is minimum for stretched but tire says not to exceed 40, with 50 max, so I just settled on 37 or so, goes around 40 hot.

The wheels look great, I had those in the shopping cart when I was wheel shopping. I kinda wished I had gone 20’s instead of 19’s.

Great choice!

Rube Goldberg is WAY before my time, but I grew up with parents that had a couple of anthologies of his toons on the bookshelf, so I definitely became a fan.

FWIW…
I run my 20’s at 34 cold. Put them on 2 years ago and running real nice tread wear, at that psi.

Industrial controls? I used to sell and service AB products in the wood products industry in the PNW. Back in 88 when I got into this career, I hadn't thought about using a PLC, but I really wanted to try and somehow mount double-acting Bimba cylinders on my doors and hood and trunk of my 87 Camaro. But then I realized that my skill-set was woefully at a disadvantage and decided not to...which was probably a good thing for the car...grin...

That's a great looking set-up. Love the wheels.

Wow, nice to see someone else in or from the same vein of work. I haven’t touched AB in years, strictly Siemens and Beckhoff for PLC controls for now. ABB and KUKA for robotics.

I unboxed bad assery.

I’m beyond excited to get the GFX diffuser and these skirts painted and on the car. I’ve missed the factory GFX so much.
