The recent additions to the car look great. And the video came out good too.

Dude,
you are rockin on that build. Looks good and sounds good.

Thanks everyone! the car is almost done! All that is left is front blinkers, brake light switch, and to fix a leak that looks like its coming from the timing chain cover. I can't wait.

Brake switch

This is the bracket i made for the brake switch, which is under the floor board. its not pretty because im not worried about anyone looking under the car at it lol. but it works

Also here is the 3 way toggle switch i am using for my blinkers. Flip it left and the left blinkers come on - Flip it right and the right blinkers come on - Flip it to the center and they are off.

Front Blinkers

I went to this motorcycle shop by my house and asked if they had any cheap blinkers laying around. He found these laying around and sold them to me for 20 bucks. when new they are about 100 atleast. So i sanded them down a little and painted them black to get rid of the chrome. I bolted them through the original holes in the cowl. im not sure what they were used for back then, but i think it was for some kind of light. Here's some pics.

It all looks great, but I am not sure you can get by with forward facing red lights. Cops frown on that.

I was going to ask the same thing. They appear to be a fairly generic size, possibly be able to find orange lenses for them...?

 

[cmcdanl]

you know i thought of that too but i didn't know the laws. i will go check with the guy i bought them from

 

[Gastrick]

Nice drawing and progress cmc. The fellas are right, you may catch some grief from the law for the forward facing red lights. It's illegal in most states. Since they were rear motorcycle turn signals though, it shouldn't be much of a problem finding amber lenses if you need to.

 

[cmcdanl]

thanks gastrick. yeah i went to the store and got some orange lenses today. no problems

 

[rockb1]

What steering set up are you running? got any pictures?

 

[cmcdanl]

i didn't set up the steering myself.. the guy who owned it before me did. but i will take pictures and post them tomorrow

Blinker lights on dash

I bought these little indicator lights from an auto part store today and put them in my dash as blinker lights to tell remind me that my blinkers are on.

Grill

I finally was able to get around to finishing my grill. The guy who owned the car before me had started on it but never finished. So i just finished where he left off. I just added some more webbing and some brackets so i could bolt them to the grill shell, and painted it green. here are some pics
