55.2-59 1958 Saab story

These are the lights I'm using. They're cool because I got a pair where the center LEDs are white for reverse lights, and another pair where they're amber for turn signals. I'll stack them with the amber lights on top and white ones below.

I am planning to repaint the truck when finished. I love the color blue that's on it, so I'll try to stay around that shade, but I also want to do blue flames on it too. As you can see by my fridge in the garage and my dad's 2005 Colorado, I can paint some pretty decent flames. When my dad bought the Colorado, he had a choice between red or black. He wanted me to put flames on it and they'd look better on the black one. It has 726 miles on it when I painted them.

Originally, the teeth mounted lower on the bumper, through the holes you can see in the center of the bumper and had a plate that kept them lined up that bolted to the bottom of the teeth. Now, the teeth mount across the bumper bar, and the bumper is bolted to the bottom of the teeth. And I put a carriage bolt on either end of the bumper, attaching it to the fender. That helps secure the bumper ends so they for with the lines of the front fender, and adds more rigidity to the front sheet metal.
