Title: Amber turn signal lenses for my 71.
Post by: Ironman on October 09, 2008, 01:09:18 PM
Howdy,

I've been doing a bit of contemplation on which way to go with my duratec project,.. and along the way, I've been playing around with other things like wheels etc.

Yesterday I deciced to black my grille, and I thought I'd see what amber turn signals would look like.
It wasnt hard to do, I got a can of candy orange paint, an applied a thin coat to the inside of the lense.

Ironman, nice looking car.  I like the amber.  You should post more pics of your car.

Its not much to look at right now,..the paints badly faded on the roof and hood, and thanks to my fat butt neighbor, I now have one of those little kinks on the top of my fender. I almost stroked out over that one!
The rear bumper was tweaked and the one I replaced it with is dinged in a couple spots. The passengers fender has a rust hole in the bottom, and of course its the drivers fender "lardo" massaged. there is also a dent in the left quarter near the tail light.

In a painful way I really appreciate my first 71 sedan more and more.
