other than that im quite impressed, not a real big fan of the flats but definitely a real nice build, especially jealous that you fabbed up your own seats! im just stuck with my buckets for now :[
Every once in a while, I'm kinda impressed with the seat myself. It feels REALLY NICE and made a huge difference in the overall style of the truck (kinda hard to believe a seat has that much impact, but it does for me).
I blew most of saturday working on the damned tail lights.
I am using the old add-on turn signal swith that came with the truck...it was designed to use add-on turn signals instead of interupting the brake lights.
...my tail lights only have two filaments, but I need 3 circuits. I am happy with the look of the rear and didn't want to add seperate lights for the blinkers.
I am not 100% happy with my solution, but I added a couple of strips of LEDs inside each tail light housing....in the shape of a "< " on the driver side and a " > " on the passenger side.
....but the lenses distort the pattern and it kinda looks like a starburst semi-circle when they light up instead of an arrow.
I tried moving the LEDs closer to the lense....and I do get a better pattern on the turn signals, but also get an ugly shadow when I light up the filament for the brake lights (only about 2/3 of the tail light looks lit up).
My dad's idea for a fix is to glue little pieces of hose over each LED to tunnel the light up to the lense (so it just makes a dot instead of a startburst).
I haven't tried that yet....I was too ****ed off.
Maybe next weekend.
...and I forgot to take pictures too.
Oh yeah, dad ordered new glass and weatherstrip for the truck.
