    Sorry, the link didn't work in my previous post, I fixed it. There are two variants, the red-logo F6 and a green-logo, also called F6, version. The green stuff is a bit more expensive and has higher heat tolerance, I used that for wires near the engine. I've gone through about 20 feet of 1/2 inch and 20 feet of 1/4 inch so far. I stripped my entire harness, so I have a lot more bare wire than some.

    The third brake light looked a bit thin to me after I got it in, so I did it again with 3/8 acrylic...



    Here's how it looks installed:



    I still have to clean up the opening a bit and wait for the new LED strip to come in.

    This is the bracket that will hold the strip on?

    LED strip will be siliconed to the inside of the lens. The lens bolts up to the bracket, which is glued to the body.

    Jaime,
    Your Car is looking great.
    I suspect you are making some kind of hood hinge.

    Jaime, Just bumpin the thread, wondering how things are going. I myself have just bought a donor car, I was kinda wondering if you still had the car. And wouldn't mind meeting up. I wanted to see one in person, and before I get too into this build want to make sure this is the ave. I want to go down.... I also live int the WNY area. Cheektowaga to be exact.
