Oh this is a big day! I just got my wheels back from Detroit Tire and Wheel tonight! They were packaged up really well and protected! I am super excited to mount these babies up!
. Question: should I be concerned with the "bubbles" on the inside of the front wheels? Linda weird looking...but the originals were pretty worn and old...

While FastBlackMerc is doing endless upgrades to my electrical system and interior/exterior lighting, I got word that Pantherlights.com was working on my custom headlamps this week. Here's a heads-up:

Looking AWESOME bud! Super jealous on them wheels! Especially the polished insides! I wouldn’t be concerned with the pits, that was probably the best they could clean them up without filling each and every void I’d imagine?
As for Jim’s handy work your in great hands. I have his LED ambient lighting kit and couldn’t imagine the car without! I actually had my first disco light show the other night as something in my console shifted into the remote control and activated quite the intense light show.. [emoji1303] Yeah I think I’ll be removing that controller. But hey, I won these at MV9 and the battery still works!
And his custom gear shift surround ended up being the most possible completed interior look I could see ever imagine considering I was pretty depressed at the HUGE hole I had in the floor just days prior to install!

I just had the exact setup done by Kevin. They are absolutely awesome and a huge upgrade to the stock lighting. You're gonna love them!

JustBob,
Thank you my friend! I know the wheels I sent them were not pretty and had sat out in a field for at least a year and maybe two. They look SOO good I didn't have the heart to complain. You made me feel such relief, brother truly. Jim Marton is a Godsend to we Marauder lovers...the amount of products/creations he has developed and influenced for our vehicles is staggering! I had his interior lighting setup in my first (totaled) Marauder from SSHS8 I believe! Ha!
Your six speed setup is one for history! Seriously! Great Great Stuff! I hope to see it in person one day! Godspeed!
More pics to come!

Thanks brother!
Dude! Kevin is super legit! I remember when I first saw these and thought they were not worth it...THEN I rented a vehicle with projector headlamps and was blown away with the level of intensity and high visibility without blinding oncoming traffic!
The cutoff on these projectors is crazy sharp and bright!

Per Kevin, to set level, "Park the car on a level surface 25ft from the wall and project the lights onto the wall. Take a measurement from the center of the projector to the ground. Then go over to the wall and the top of the step of the beam pattern should measure the same (or up to 2 inches less) than the first measurement you took from the projectors"

I got some update pics from Jim Marton (FastBlackMerc) on LED changes to the vehicle:
I am sooooo not sure why this is sideways! But you get the point...Ha! Order your bulbs on the Marauder Innovations page here on MM.net

Thanks guys! This has been a labor of love (and payments of passion!) The best part of this whole project are the amazing people I have the privilege of meeting along the way. Our community is a bunch of really great folks! More pics are coming, especially as Jim completes some more electrical upgrades!

Picked up my car from Mo's Speed shop a couple of weeks ago. Marty and Jeff are the BEST! Got a bunch of things done. Here's the list:
1. Stainless Works Headers and catted exhaust
2. New Megs Resonated Factory tips (NOS)
3. Valve Covers Powder Coated Silver with MMR inserts
4. New Cooling Fan
5. New Battery Tray and Hold down for a bigger battery (for future stereo upgrades)
6. Spark Plugs
7. New O2 Sensors
8. E-brake Install (Never had them because of previous owner)
9. New Boost, Fuel Pressure and Wideband A/F Gauges
10. Complete new a/c system (Mine was all original and crapped out)
11. New door lock actuator
12. New Driver door module.
This was quite a list of stuff and I'm sure I left some things out...but I am super pleased! Now to aim my headlamps from Pantherlights (Just got the adjustment wrench from Amazon). then to figure out the demon eyes functionality and ride!!!!
Nest Summer: Stereo Upgrades!!!!

The engine bay looks killer.
