1973 Plymouth Duster repair and rebuild

Well, I went after my tail lights with the blue paint pen in hopes that it would improve them from the faded and broken grey. I think it turned out ok. The picture doesnt do it justice. I went over it with 3 coats. And the cover is pretty uniform. Will be interesting to see how it turns out on the car.

Another new item done on the car. We now have front exterior lights. And another loose wire found. The Yellow wire from the light switch which goes thru the firewall via the bulkhead connector was just hanging. I am guessing electrical issue in the connector and the prior owner was bypassing it. Well, I found it and ran a bypass wire from under the dash to the loose wire on the other side by the bulkhead connector. Its kind of funny, now with that connection made I now have front marker and park/turn lights.

Speaking of markers, check out the new marker lights I bought to replace the broken OEM ones. I like the style. Blacked out completely. And when on, you see a single row of LEDs in the correct color per location.

When I get the car road ready, I will get a couple of pictures of the car with lights on when its a bit darker so they effect shows best. Being LED, they are pretty bright. There is no excuse for not seeing me.
