Ohh C'mon!! All I managed to do today was spend a grand. You've already did that months ago.Congratulations. In a single day, you managed to surpass me in a build that I've had going for months. I quit.
Long way off Scotty,..... I got a whole bunch of work that has to happen before I can even hope to start on the turbo stuff,... and another 1000.00 to spend.Hurry up and start making some turbo piping. I want to see how you plumb that summa bi tch.
Thank you, Iweegian.That is awesome that you found a running 250 for that good of a score. Way to go man!
Not as easy as that sounds,... the stock tails have a shoulder that sits in the "trough" that had the adhesive imbedded. A flat piece of lexan would have a gap that just wouldn't work.Mike congrats on the finds. Not much help as far as temp, medium and die make-up, but why don't you make your own lenses. Plexi or a similar medium should work. Candy model paint gives you your red and the "black-out" look is "in". Clear it all and your good.
I am thinking '67 GT500 tails. Not sure how hard they are to find, or how expensive they are, but shape wise it seems like a good fit...
All three cars,.. the 67/68 GT/CS; The 67/68 Shelby,.. and the 67/68 Cougar all used the same sequential tail light,.. with only the exterior trim to differentiate them.Or maybe the Cougar sequential tails...
From your description, it sounds like you are going to have to make a filler plate. Acrylic plastic sheet is easy to work with and it could be the solution. Cut and shape the outside edge of the acrylic blank to fit the mount for the Fairmont taillights and cut and shape the hole in the blank to fit the Fox taillights. Paint the blank whatever color you like. If you don't like the idea of leaving the acrylic filler plates on the car, they can be your pattern to make some out of sheet steel or whatever else you might choose.After looking at it based on info I got from another thread,... I decided to try a set of Fox tail's.
The problem for me is,.. they will look like they are in fact fox tails.
I'm trying to minimize the fabrication involved in this process, but that appears frugal. The fox tails have a slight curvature to them across their length, and are squared off at the side where they butt up against the quarter, Stupid Fairmont tails are not curved, and the mating surface at the quarter is cut on a diagonal. Mustang tails look to be 6.5" tall, Fairmont looks to be 8".
.all it takes is money Collin.
The problem w/any junk yard light is that they probably would be as bad as the crusty junkers I already have. If I go through the hassle of converting the tails to something different I wanna be sure that the parts sources offer new quality for my sweat.how about somwthing on the lines of a Caprice or Bonneville light
I think I found my new sig,,,, lol
No, Futura tails are significantly different than a box top.do the standard Fairmont lights fit? I've got a buddy with a few, he likely has some spares
i am, but even the substrates are crumbling.though you were missing most of your lenses?
