I had not really touched the T/A this month, kinda burned out and bummed about the fitment of the custom tail panel. I decided the hell with it and ordered a bunch of 70-73 components. The tail panel was chonged up pretty good; Ames said all of theirs were damaged, as were Classic's... so I finally sucked it up and massaged the deformations out so they may actually fit the light buckets.

Cut a test hole to take a look at what is going on...



combined arms assault: plasma, sawzall, snips, spotweld drill, air chisel...



most of the panel gone.



Testing an idea I read about; left side tail light has white painted reflecter, other side stock silver - not much difference I can see



Got my instrument panel from Randy Combs - looks quite nice. Will be fitting it out with gauges soon.
