Oh, I hear ya Kim. I just wanted to get rid of the front turn signals. I know they've been there for 55 years, I just don't think they really fit the theme of the rest of the front of the truck.

If I get rid of the turn signals, I felt I had to replace them with something. My choice was to simply add these accents.

Some reason they seem to strike up peoples imagination. I've had the open louvers, I've had people think they would open and there would be turn signals hidden within. I've had them them think they would flash as turn signals siquentially, like the old rear turn signals of the cougars and T-birds.

Nope, just bits of eye candy, once I get these done I'm pretty well done with body mods. Next spring it'll be priming, blocking and painting, oh, then driving.
