Hey man, I just caught up on the thread. You have done some great work! Regarding that broken light housing, if you don't want to mess with returning it, I might suggest Gorilla brand super glue. I managed to break a tab off of an interior piece when sound deadening my vette, and that glue made it stronger than new. 2$ fix, but I'm also the guy who would contact the vendor and see if a replacement was available hassle free. Either way, nice work on the car so far!
I'm with @darkfader you can at least contact them and tell them what happened. If you show them it was DOA they might just send you a new one.
I shot them an email this morning. We’ll see what happens. This set all matches perfect. My fear is getting another light, that is a different shade of grey. Some reviews had called that out as an issue.
Car still isn’t up and running, so I have some time to deal with this anyway!

Thanks man! Appreciate that! It’s definitely been a fun few years working on this. It’s still far from where I’d like to end up, but it’ll get there some day!
I’ll see how they reply to my email. I sent them a picture, so hopefully I can just exchange the one light. If not, I’ll definitely try that glue. I’ve had good luck with their two part epoxy on some projects around the house.
I finally have tracking numbers for all my gas tank pieces. When I finally get it together, and go to start it back up (hopefully within the next two weeks if work cooperates) should I be doing anything to help the motor? It’s been sitting since the beginning of January without running. Not sure if that’s long enough to be concerned, or should I just fire it up? Thanks guys!
Start it up, let it idle for a few minutes then two donuts clock wise then two donuts counter clockwise.
On film of course.

New lights shipping out tomorrow! I’m sending them back. LMR has been great! Good communication, and trying to make it right!Got these today!! Top left corner of the corner light is cracked. The piece is in the box. I think may use some crazy glue on it, rather than deal with the hassle of shipping them back. I’ll have to think about it.

Yeah Dub, Ive had great service with them when something is wrong or damaged. Typically they just send out a replacement and don't ask for the other one back, at least in my case. Granted the stuff I received was cheap stuff. If I got a damaged $500 catted H pipe, im sure that would be a different story.
Yeah..... they said if they didn’t receive them, they would charge my card. No biggie. In the end I just want a set that isn’t damaged. Fingers crossed!
We are back in the headlight business!
Great customer service from LMR to make this right! Replaced them with no issues at all!

I was ready to reassemble the fuel filler neck, and all the overspray was bothering me.
Took the time to take it out, clean it up, a little touch up with some flat black, new gaskets, and I’m much happier! Good thing I ended up getting two sets of gaskets!

New filler neck to trunk seal installed:
Tank is ready to go. New filler grommet, vapor valve grommet, sending unit, and 155lph fuel pump.
Calling it a night and going to clean up. Need some more dielectric grease for the connections, and I think I’ll be good to go.
Only reason I got this far was because the rain put an end to the outside chores!!

I do remember leaving that seal and the filler neck loose and that made it mush easier to install the tank.
I do have the neck loose, but maybe I’ll loosen the seal too. It can only help. Figure I’ll lube the grommet on the tank and the neck with some motor oil to help as well.

Thanks - I really wish I had taken a picture at the very beginning..... it was filthy with grease and grime, you couldn’t hardly see that red overspray
