Seems a guy in Spain has copied my build design. lol. Although his looks more like the upscale side of the family... Very nice... I specifically didn't want to do anything '57 Chevy cuz it was too recognizable IMHO, but this guy sure has integrated it and made it flow very nicely... The black/turquoise one is C6 based. The one below is XLR based.
Fenders are home from media blasting... Only a couple minor surprises... "Gee, I didn't know it was porous there....".
Probably would not had been much left of my 48 Plymouth coupe if it had made a trip to the media blaster. We still put 88,000 miles on it over 15 years (not many the last 3, have a new toy). The car is still road worthy, even though it started out as a pile of rust, and was not media blasted.
Finally back working on Boris... Ended up using a new external relay for the fog lights. I really wanted to use the relay already in the underhood panel, but it just became too convoluted and hacky... I just put a switch on the lower dash for on/off without the former regard to hi/low beams. The fogs can be on any time now. They do shut off with the car however. Next, I'm thinking about rewiring the low beams. Right now all 4 headlights are on for hi and low beams, but low beams are pretty dim while hi is pretty decent. I was thinking about using the hi beam filament in just the outer, upper headlights as a low beam, but I don't know the ramifications of essentially having that filament wired to both hi and low. Will I backfeed something I don't want to??
