After fighting with my speaker and radio for a few days, I need to go to plan B and just use the speakers up in the headliner once it's installed until I run across an original speaker to install. :D Ordered parts to finish off the wiring then primed my glove box door and ash tray so I can finish up the interior. Paint them tomorrow, engine bay shouldn't take long to do the wiring. I can see the light at the end on the tunnel now.....just hope it isn't a train! :eek:

:yt: One of those colors will work for sure and work a lot better. I used a bright aluminum color paint and it really turned out well with good reflectivity.

This what they look like in the day time with the aluminum painted insides, I think they will be bright enough for turn indicators..

Cleaning and painting is what I like to do and it looks so much better than just installing all the old parts the way they were. That is my version of NOS.(new old stock). :lol:
