6 tail lights
primed
Painted--blended paint at the body line
finished
I designed an adjustable sequencer for the turn signals -each one lights in turn until they are all lit then they go out and restart again
Got rid of the exhaust outlets and installed buckets for back up lights in the rear lower apron--running LEDS in all lights

I like the back-up lights in the exhaust holes. Great idea.

Rick H, I really like the six tail lights. They look great. I also like the center back-up, but while the back up lights in the exhaust outlets is creative, its not something I like. I personally like 6 tail lights with the back up being either in the center or the two in board lights. Cool work though, altogether.

I wanted to have 3 turn signal lights per side so I could hook up a sequencer I built to drive them-----it does have back up on center and if I wasn't installing side exhaust-- I could have machined a bezel for above the plate for more light--needed to fill the exhaust holes with something----since I had moulds for left and right -it was easy to fill those holes for back up lights
