New tail lights

I have finally gotten around to starting the tail light swap to some 1986 Corvette assemblies.

I found a rear bumper cover with lights at the local JY for $45. These are some what rare around here since vette stuff goes fast.

The vette cover is about 6 inches to long but that is easily fixed with a dremel (cant find my jig saw). After measuring multiple times I finally cut the cover in half and started fitting the right side in. Now I have it almost all the way in then I'll start on the left then the center before molding it all in with fiberglass.

Here is what I have so far.

Ok this is not done but for now it will work. I need to figure out the wiring and then she should be road worthy... and yes the lights will be tinted black so the red does not show when not on.

Hey Skittle. Damn I drove through Vegas yesterday. I could have stopped by. Looks great. I might use that idea on my V8 build. You were lucky to find them at any price
