I looked at either black or blue, but I'm not sure if I go black the engine shows up more. If I go blue it will match the firewall but will draw the attention away from the engine.

Very nice! I actually like the added bend you did to accommodate the a.c. stuff. Looks awesome, great work as usual!

Re: 67 long box

With only one bulb in it makes a big difference. They make a dimmer for these now so I can lower the light. Maybe.

Re: 67 long box

Well it fits back on with a couple of mods and it all works. I'm too cheap sometimes. The LED bulb change looks great.

Re: 67 long box

Found all the stuff I need to run door wiring and pins. I also got new tach conectors for the dizzy. One little think at a time. The aluminum block is to make door pin wedge blocks. 67 doesn't have the raised door pin boss. They don't make or sell them so..
