grille mod i thought i'd share

Something i'd been thinking about that is just a small detail, but i like the way it turned out. The purists may scoff but i like LED's. You know how on a 67-68 grille the bottom opening had the indentations for the stock rectangular turn signal? Well, i took another TOP 67 grille opening piece off another grill, by drilling the rivets and did the same on my 67 grille on the bottom, removing the bottom one. Well, the holes top to bottom are different but no biggie, i re-drilled holes and used some threaded rivets to attach the old top piece to the bottom. took just a few minutes. I fitted some Harley amber LED's to the part and they are really bright with a running light mode and a brighter turn signal, sorry i don't have them wired to show the brightness yet. Then i powdercoated all the core support & grille. My grille trim and headlight bezels were cherry and are being re-chromed right now. Bumper is junk but i'll use it for a minute until i get a smoothie one from Brothers.
here is a pic or two:



tell me what you think
