Clearance lights are done, what do you think????

[MOTOIMPAIRED]

Finally got my clearance lights finished. Took me a little time to make them but I love the way they turned out.

They go with the Military theme of my truck. So what do you think?? I have more pictures I will post later.

I was thinking the same thing. I've got a replica of one that was the type my Dad had in his B-24.

Thanks guys..
They are actually 25MM shell casings from a navy ship. I got some solid Poly tube and turned the tips down on a lath. Inside I have 193 LED lights, only because they run cooler then regular bulbs. They are not lit up in the picture as I'm still working on re-wiring the whole truck.

Here are a couple pictures of the bullets....

what did it cost you to make those? if you dont mind telling me. I would like a set for my truck!!!!

[shawno72]

That is way to cool, especially with the barbed wire. Totally awesome.

[1963c-10]

Very cool, was hard to tell the size case based off a pic, but came out sweet

I got some dummy pineapple grenades from a surplus store and made shifter handles out of em. I just threaded the end of em and tapped/threaded an allen screw into the side to lock them down. I think the whole thing might've cost me about $20 for each one. Look pretty cool too.

Nice touch !

Yes, I already have one of those I made and will be inside the truck. I have a few other things made that I will share soon.. Ill keep ya posted..

Budman..
It wasnt very exspensive to make, it just took time. I took me a while to locate the shell casings and then it was $45 for the solid orange plastic. I have some extras that I made for back ups just in case. I also made a rear third break light from .308 casings I need to post.

[ChiefRocka]

Sweet man !!
