As for the tail lights, you could just put an 1157 LED bulb in it...On my '67 2 Door wagon I did the same thing removing the gas filler from the side of the car...Built a panel in behind the tail light assy and used the gas filler cap off of a VFR750 Interceptor motorcycle tank to seal it off...You have to fill the tank slowly though, even with a vent tube...

Great build with some great ideas...Kepp 'em coming...

The car is in paint jail right now almost 2 states away from me, so I cant get any pics...I'll look thru my photos and see if I took a shot of it...

Were you gonna sprin load it?...How do you plan on latching it?...I used a set of rare earth magnets on mine...It will never pop out...

I had two ideas, one of which was making a small spring loaded lever latch, spring load the light in the housing.

the other idea was a magnet.. and i couldnt remember what those magnet were called till you just reminded me lol! So I might look at that method now....

Got the body back off the frame, get it ready for the media blaster. You can see the frame all boxed in and the tube x-member we made up for it.

Body back from the media blaster, only found a couple small surprises, nothing big though, turned out good

The 62 Nova dash (whats left of it lol) looks good in there, I'm glad I used it

starting to put it all back together again so i can start fitting and reworking all the panel gaps, etc.

The widened 67 Nova bumper fits pretty good, still needs some tweaking but looks like it belongs

Looking like a whole car again!
