Re: Project: Shiro
No, not going to sell any of the sheet metal. Probably going to start replacing that stuff if it doesn't sell soon.

Re: Project: Shiro
Knocked out some things that have been naggin' me since I Shiro arrived almost a year ago, it's about time right?
![]() So I arrive to pick up my turn signal switch at the local NAPA Auto Parts and I'm greeted by this behemoth sittin' low. They call it the NAPAllac... ![]() Here is the radio bezel after install, I think I will have all the chrome bits powder coated or painted satin black when/if I blow this thing apart. Here is the signal switch as it comes from NAPA. Not a fan of the pigtail that must be used but after you hide it behind the dash it is soon forgotten. And here is the finished product. It's crisp and tight and I love having the self cancelling function. ![]() I'll try and get a pic or video of the dash lights working as they should... and it only took 10 months to fix them. ![]()

Re: Project: Shiro
It's so nice to have gauge lights that actually work. Glad I finally squared that away.

Re: Project: Shiro
It was a simple one. The little tabs on a few of the individual bulb holders were flatened out, I bent them up which made a better contact and poof bright lights.

Re: Project: Shiro
Good!!! It seemed a shame to get rid of her when you have almost all the pieces/parts to make her whole. I saw where you said you may swap her to a '68 frontend...if you do, I may be able to help with a few pieces, just let me know. It'd be a great excuse to go to the beach for the weekend
