    mike I gots a wedding satruday! bummer I know. That lovey dovey stuff should not cut into hot rodding time so much. hahahaha

    peter, I do collision work all day long but sometimes I get to work on hot rods durring the day when we are caught up. Otherwise every hour I get after work is devoted to rod building stop out sometime. We listen to very loud heavy metal usually when all the old blue hairs leave the facility..

    I like the lights too! drawback is you prolly gotta run a third brakelight cause they get so small. I am sure we can come up with something cool. later drew

    I really dig the taillight treatment Drew. As for needing a third light... maybe. They are still bigger than on any older coupe.
