    Been kinda' slow working in my shop lately, due my physical limitations, as well as no helper.
    Got back out there a bit last week, and today my new helper Vic came for his first day...
    What a great helper he is.
    Got my tail light Frenching pretty well roughed in now, so will move on to finishing the front, and other body stuff. Also made some brackets to weld to the frame for my Lakes Pipes..
    At ~80 I still love this stuff... :)

    UPDATE:
    Added some trim around the edges...
    Also bought some 1/8" red acrylic sheet to cut out full ovals for them.
    Will add a couple of small round reflectors to each also.... which will be my ~7th attempt at the tail light situation.
    I have two other finals I am considering..
    Crazy isn't it ??

    Those dual antennas would like bitchin' if they were frenched.....they look good now too! Tailights are going to look good too when you get them done!

    I have a youngster that comes over and we build cars on Sundays. He helps a LOT! I really appreciate his help!

    Hey, great idea on Frenching the antennas. Hadn't thought about that. Thinking maybe I will do it now. :)

    Be sure and put in a drain hole and drain tube out the bottom of the buckets and through the floorboard!
