Yet again, more Chevy parts...

Those look good Man. Great idea

 

Honestly, the backup lights on this car haven't worked in almost two years. Never bothered hooking them back up when I put the B&M shifter in. Most of the time I like to back into parking spaces anyway, or I just back out very slowly and watch where I'm going. Never had a problem. If I end up swapping these over when I get the next body together, I'll figure out back up lights then. This is the car I got off you. Don't worry, you were thinking the RIGHT thing. This car takes decent pictures, but it would take a lot of work to restore it properly.


I can't take any credit for this idea at all. Mavaholic has already been running this style of tail light for years on his Sprint. From what I can find, the difference between his and mine are his are off a '67 Impala and mine are of a Caprice, which are just different trim levels of basically the same car.

 

Other side is on, and I also threw up a quick tech article on how I installed them. Pics and video will come tomorrow.

 

my uncle went to bid on a 67 bel air today for parts for his 67 biscayne and my dads 67 impala. too bad he didn't win it. id've scored the taillights. maybe some other time.

 

Here you go!

 

Looks good. I picked up some Bobcat taillights for our project. Haven't installed them yet.

 

All finished:

The old thermal flasher is going a little too fast. I'm going to go get an electronic flasher today so that they will sequence a little slower.

 

that's great! the lenses even match the paint. and the best part is that they look like they belong on a maverick. That is one nice car you got there. makes me wanna go work on mine, but i'd sink in the mud before i got anything done.

 

Very cool. Since I kind of helped you with the realization of Caprice lights can I copy that. I really like it. I had no intention of even changing lights but seeing that makes me want to.

Very cool!

 

very nice i like the sequenchel affect

 

I think they look great the way they are, with the faster sequencing. Very awesome work!

 

Do what ever you like man. I did a little write up on it in the tech article section for anyone else who wants to do it.

 

Can you list the part and a diagram on how you did the sequential? i've had my 67 caprice lights for about 6 months but haven't installed because i couldn't find a cheap sequential setup.

 

Nice job Jamie ,they look nice.
