Cool. It probably wouldn't matter to me either if I wanted something that looked like that. But some of the nicest shaped tail lights I've seen on any 28-32 Ford live on the back of metalshapes' roadster. Vaguely coffin shaped (toe-pincher style) but NOT AT ALL rat-rod or rockabilly goofy. They are just nice shaped lights. ALSO - check out some of smokey's last posts. I think around the time I last saw him around here he was casting his own teardrop bezel with bars accross - but I think they were chevron shaped?
Let's see, you don't like blue dot's, lake style headers, and now Guide 682's are ugly, and my car has all three. What a ugly piece of **** I drive! Dan
Holy Smokes, those are just like the headlites i run on my hotrod sedan i am building.... except i have yet to see any like mine exactly. Mine look just like those but where the signal lite lense is on those, is cast over on mine. No signal lite up top but still has the top bulge and torpedo shape as if to have them. I paid 20 bux CDN at a swapmeet up here for mine.
Haha - I guess those are all sweeping generalizations on my part. When I talk about those parts I am usually picturing a car I hope to have in my own garage someday. I wouldn't have blue dots on one of my cars and generally don't like them. But following Steve Wertheimer down a dark 171 highway on the way back from the HAMB drags gave me new perspective. They were perfect on that car. Ghostly. Lakes pipes? I have been thinking this one over. I like it when I see them made from an old Ford driveshaft. And I have an idea that might make me consider putting a set on my car. Maybe by the HAMB drags. Guides 682's? They are alright, but the more I looked at them on my car the more I realized that they didn't fit - a little too big. And when I see them on most cars I think the same thing. I'm wierd I guess. I don't like plenty of parts on my own car. But as a whole I really like my car.
Yeah, didja see what that last oil cooler went for on the 'Bay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...=4640109000&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
That's a lot of cheese burgers, but in life (especially eBay life) it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
these lights belong to me. they are for sale to finanance a project. i paid big mony for these to get parts to complete a set i found for 20.00 at a swap meet. they are cool as hell but show me the money. there have been several pair in the last year go over 2000.00 but no one will bid on mine.
