The Details

It is the little weird things that make me like this car every time I see it. After doing a mockup of the new taillight lenses I remembered the bulbs inside were patterned. I was able to get the details with the new camera. The bulb still works so I am just going to leave it.

There is still a couple of feet of snow on the ground, but I have been itching to get working on the car again. I purchased some taillight lenses from Microcarlot.  I had seen the lenses on some cars down at the World Meet and they looked to be pretty good. The whole lens is plastic, compared to the original, which had a lower glass reflector. The lens is also a bit thicker, so maybe it won't melt like the old ones. Below are the new and old lenses side-by-side. The rubber gasket is not available, so I will probably use the old cracked ones for now.
