No joke...that's a real 'Where's Waldo?'

Your rounding third Rod.....

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 
It seems like a slow rounding. I did modify my power antenna to use a stainless steel cable with plastic coating instead of the nylon cord that they all use that typically breaks. Might be hard to change after when it's installed. Waiting on parts stuck in Canada Post to finish the antenna. Looks like it might be well into January before I get my stuff or later.

So I decided to use the passenger side like it was factory. Centerd it with the bezel. Now for the hard part. Taking the fender off and making it fit nicely.

I have to do the cornering lights before I take the fenders off to do the antenna so I cut the holesin the mouldings and made the bezels fit. Scary stuff. At least for me. That's the hard part. Now I can cut the back side od the fender out for the light when the fender is off.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 
I really fought myself how to add these cornering lamps because it's so hard to do any alterations to the exterior of these trucks . They were so we'll designed for their time and altering the lines would be a shame. That's why I could not use that box top and I kept the adjustable mirrors on the original stems and round even if they are less functional. It's tough to make some of these mods without loosing the period look. One thing I don't want to do is make it look modern in any way. Interior or exterior. Except the lighting. I want to be able to see when I drive.

Don't worry. You're threading the needle. Looks great.

Thanks. Most ppl wouldn't care to or find useless most of the mods I have done (including myself at times) but it's about what the build will be when it's finished. Here's the other side ans with the lenses in them.
