Nice....Jim

Looking good Drew thanks for the update. Not sure what we are going to do when you get this thing done? We can count on something cool here almost daily.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-15-2011, 02:17 AM

Your tail lights are nice!

I luv me some LEDs .. I have the same ones on my Blazer
... I want to be seen.... it would be a shame to do all that work and get rearended because of a dim bulb...

Exactly my thoughts, I know they don't look factory correct - but not being in an accident trumps that.

FrankieD · 12-15-2011, 09:57 AM

Are they plug & play? Makes it look more up to date, to bad they don't make them with a LED blue dot.

Piece of cake. The 3 wires on the LED have a socket like a light bulb, all you do is pull your bulb and insert this one. The LED panel is completely sealed, so no worries if your gasket isn't perfect.

looks great....now get that trim on !!

coggonobrien · 12-15-2011, 01:34 PM

**67cheby** · 12-15-2011, 01:38 PM

Thanks, I have been looking around myself trying to bone up on my buffing skills. Any links like this will help!

Wow so I tried to read it all and started off really upset about cutting up a Minty fresh original burb but this looks amazing. I got to page 50 and wanted to see the finished product so I skipped some. Is looking great I love the truck. Youve done an amazing job and I wish I could see it in person

Not only a mint burb but a pretty sweet truck too. I just about had a fit the first time I read this thread. I couldn't believe what he had done! But once I got to the meat of the build it didn't take long to figure out some sacrifices need to made to make a sweet ride like this.

Are you going to paint the tailgate letters blue?
