Re: Long Time Coming......
Today's episode of What did Glenn do in the Garage Today...
In an effort to get all the rough fab work done on the bed I decided to tackle the rolled pan and taillights. I am using 1939 Chevy passenger car bullt style taillights. I wanted to get them to mount to the bottom of the rolled pan. But I don;t want them to hang off, but rather be cut up into the pan roughly 50%.
With the pan on a stand I measured and started vutting to get the buckets to fit.
Once trimmeed to fit the bucket nicely I used some rectangular steel stock I have and a long level to make sure the buckets are on the same angle as the license plate panel.
Once I liked the position I welded them in place. I welded them from the back side so I don't have to worry about foing a ton of grinding.
Then it was time for a fit up and be able to step back and see how it looked.
I put the lens and trim rings on to show what it will look like when done.
