Yes Sir - they are, and do - you can run the clear bulb, or use the two sets of colored lenses: I got red and blue in my kit.

Replaced the 'Made in China' thermostat and cleaned up the sloppy ignition wires, and refilled the radiator last night for my re-light-off tomorrow morning at 09:00. We'll give her another 20 minutes @ 2,000 RPM.

Thanks David.

This has been quite a learning experience.

She goes on the flat-bed one more time (cause she's got zero brakes presently) to my vendor's shop Wednesday afternoon and because of parties and stuff running from the 3rd of July through the 12th, I am going to see if he can hang on to the C10 until the afternoon of the 13th.

I don't think I'll have anything to do on her for a while, but drive!

Went to Speedway at Orange County Fairgrounds Saturday night to celebrate.

Had a great time, but only had two 14oz Bud Lites.

They were $10.00 each.

Kool-aid packets + ice water + flask of booze = A hell of a time anywhere you go.
