[QUOTE]Originally posted by bwkelley76: [QB] <<LOL Tail lamp bulbs, sockets, lenses, and frames are all fitted and installed. That was a pain in the azz and a messy job but it came out great. I also installed the rear bumper. It fits excellent compared to the aftermarket ones, 67-68 are the worst for fitment. This is an original bumper that has been re-chromed and straightened. Almost a perfect fit! I'm not going to lie, I had to shim things a bit but not too bad. The Shelby tail panel I'm using is the upgraded panel that has the lamp bezels built-in. That made certain things easier and certain things harder. I had to cut out all the holes for the bulbs and sockets, and drill the 12 lens frame stud holes through fiberglass and through the original steel panel behind it, and then try to gain access to all the nuts on the back. The lens gaskets this stuff came with were nowhere close to fitting so I had to make my own. The lenses also had to be trimmed here and there so they fit properly into the fiberglass provisions. As well as the reflective silver backing I painted on prior, I unexpectedly had to paint a few visible things inside the light bezel orange .YES ORANGE. so it didn't show through the lenses. ...I could write a whole book and that little issue so I'll just leave it alone for now. lol. The important thing is they came out great. Although there were issues everything fit better than I expected. There's just no easy way to do these tail lights.
