    solergizer hook up!

    purchased a 24 volt Solargizer and was wondering where would be the best place to install this unit. To the terminals on the batts or to the terminal blocks on the fire wall. Just wondering if anybody had some pics to to look at too.

    Yellow headlights

    I was thinking of what yellow headlights were for. I've seen them on Deuces before and wondered if the cucv ever had them. I think it would be easier than trying to mount something on the grill guard. I've seen the spray on yellow tint and sometime ago (ebay) someone had a set of lights made by...
