mark... here are the lights i plan on using as reverse lights... they are tiny and very bright... blinding actually if you look directly at them... I figure, as little as i go in reverse, these will be good enough.. at least no one can say i don't have reverse lights....

Those tail lights look great Steve. You have been busy. I just can't find the time to work on mine. Plenty of time to drive it tho. Keep up the good work. Where did you find those reverse lights?

i wish it was mine and in better condition... it's my dad's. everytime i get a different kind of car, he has to copy me.. but since he bought it, he decided to get into his triumph. He asked me to part it out for him.. (what little parts that are good, that is...)

thanks jim... i've been down in the garage trying to clean it.. but there's so much crap in there that all i'm really doing is moving it around and not getting anywhere... i think i might take tomorrow off of my car and cut my dad's car up and get it out of here...
