I spent a few hours in the garage today. All lights are now working.   **^bana0 I had some difficulty getting the right combination of bulb draw for the blinkers because the tail lights are LEDs.   #banghead I also hooked up some rear speakers. They sound great!  2@cent I found that the horn needs a new ground wire. That will be next.   %$oldcit

Finished up the structural replacement on the Champagne.





Have some overhead welding (yuk) to do underneath and then the battery tray & quarters go on.

 It's Coming Along..
Want me to stop by and give you a hand with that underside welding. That is unless De-Welder chimes in and offers..

 BTW.. Congrats on Selling the Super, gots to change your footnotes..

Thanks guys. Ant & Mazza came over this evening and we worked on the beginnings of fitting the quarter.
Flanged it and fitted it flush to body. Nice  thumpup)-

Gotta work the right side of the tail light opening to make it match.



I'll have this thing off 10 times fitting it before I can weld it, but it's getting there
