Good Monday all. The Holidays are fast approaching us. In my last post you saw I had couple tubes in the grill I did't like so had two more tubes on order. They came last Wednesday and finished the grill on Friday. All the brackets have been painted flat black and some of the shinny items for the A/C system behind the grill. For my first one it came out pretty nice. I did find out that the stainless tubes are too thin to weld with a mig. In the center where I cut the tubes with a hacksaw to bend them, that saw cut would look better if it was TIG welded. This can be done later. Also an update on the tail lights. The two sockets for the back up lights are mini bayonet. That is the size of dash light sockets. So I found on line some LED bulbs that fit those sockets and have four LEDs in the one bulb. They make lots of light and look pretty cool in the back up lights. Side pipes project is next.!!
