It'll be done today right. I wonder how that would look on a fleetside.

Yup...

Anymore progress on those cadddy lights?

Can't wait to see'em done.

Strodder · 12-21-2012, 11:02 AM

I want to get those LED lights after Christmas before I continue. I really don't want to make the sheet metal wide. I found another way to make the stock lights LED. And it will look better with more LED's, and cheaper.

I posted on Face Book and forgot to post here. Only one hand done, the other isn't worth doin. I rather get my torn rotator cuff fixed.

Thanks for asking.
Work is slow so have time to work on the truck again. Here ya go.

This just a quick mock up. More trimming and fitting to do.

Strodder · 01-08-2013, 10:31 PM

I went to the Auto Wrecking Yard and found the tail light harness' for $40. Couldn't really make the sheet metal until I knew how deep the lights will be with the wiring.

shrunken66stroker · 01-12-2013, 12:41 AM

Booo! lookin good.

Strodder · 01-12-2013, 01:27 AM

Got a little more done on the tail lights today, not picture worthy yet.

Come on how cold is it. Run out there and snap some photes. Do I have to go to facebook to see pics.

Strodder · 01-12-2013, 10:21 AM

It's 25 this morning. It looks almost the same but is fitting better. I was making some progress, when my wife came out and said it's time to go to her brothers house for dinner. FOOD WINS!!

daverod · 01-12-2013, 01:50 PM

Oh yeah, my bike fired right up too, and even went on a ride with 4 other guys this morning.It was 22 degrees.

daverod · 01-12-2013, 08:58 PM

Great to see you still getting out.

22 but it's a dry cold so it's not as bad.

It's true, just like a dry heat. The damp cold goes right through you. .

66-PMD-GMC · 01-13-2013, 12:52 PM

OK, yeah.... you really road a bike in that cold?
Your a way better man than me..

For me, no matter how you cut it .. the cold sucks...
I'll take my desert heat over cold any day..

Just adding my 2 cents

If you dress right, it's not too bad.

Look at the wind chill factor, and we were doing 70mph

Strodder · 01-13-2013, 09:12 PM

Got some more done on the tail lights today.
Still have to trim and fit some more.

Alan's Classic · 01-13-2013, 10:09 PM

Strodder · 01-13-2013, 10:31 PM
