Default maybe I shouldn't have, too late now

The wife wants to drive it this spring. I wouldn't want to disappoint her. But there might be a bonus if done on time.;)

You'll make it. You've already got a good start!
Plus there's not much else to do up here in the winter!

The front of the garage is 28X30 and the storage area in the back (that you can barely walk thru) is 28x26.

Larry did you get the fiberoptics working?

re: Larry did you get the fiberoptics working?

Hey Rod!

I sure did. Every one needed a different thing though!
The rears just needed cleaning at the bulb (painted).
2 of the fronts needed cleaning as well. One needed a splice - I just used a wire crimp without crimping and glue. One needed the backside of the headlight cleaned! One parking light was good and I had to run a new (out of a junk caddy) fiber all the way for the other parking light. WOW!
Short answer is yes - they work great now!

Check out my web page I was where you are 32 day`s ago. But I work 4 day`s on 4 day`s off. I worked on the car from 8:00 am till 2:00 am every day I was off. :smash:
Wife did not like it much. she stole it and took it around the block while I was at work the other night, Now she say`s I`ll bring your supper to the garage if you want to finish my car for me. :mad :mad :confused: :confused:
