Snow and slippery today so I stayed in the house.

Took and hour or so and finally made the bracket for my driving light. When my body guy was doing my car and I was having the reverse lights filled in favour of a light off the bumper, he offered this (the driving light) to do that job. I jumped on it for the front - likely 50 years old, and nice chrome. Switch is the wiper stalk.

Please come Spring!

Very nice! I like what you did with the running lights. You're at a fun stage.....not so filthy. How about a shot of her back side.

Did you get it to run?

That is one tremendously slick 1500. Don't stress out too much about the non-start issue...when the problem reveals itself you'll slap yerself upside the head for not seeing it sooner. Spark+gas+timing, and it will start. Just be methodical. Not like there's MAP and TPS sensors to worry about! :wink:
 
Hmmmmm.....those photos look familiar...hehehe

Beautiful car, John-Peter....now go paint that rear license holder black!
 
JP, nice work.
