Here is some of the latest progress, I wasnt sure if I needed to actually work under the rear of the car in order to get the rear side markers in place, so before I put the rear axle in place for the final time I got the markers in. They are off of some BMW model, chosen for size and shape. Again no bondo yet just welded in.
first pic is of the cup, second is of the clamp arrangement, third is of it in place and the rest are primed and lit. Legal and not.

I like it, I can't wait too see this car done, very fun to watch it come together, keep the pics comming!
 
Andrew, are the light colors different from side to side, such as with aircraft wingtip navigation lights?
 
Fish,
no, there is a switch in the switch bank that turns the DOT lighting scheme to all blue when desired. The front side markers are Orange/Yellow and the rear are red. This also applies to the front running lights / turn signals.

Custom work is so much fun, and I agree they look very nice and well thought out
Good job BM.
 
I finally got around to putting the front side markers in place. Being able to pull the fenders and bring them inside the shop and do this on the bench was a pleasure. I will post a lighting scheme pic maybe tonight.

Here are the pics
I went and got some 10mm bi-color LEDs which work much better than the 6 tiny LEDs I had bundled for each light.
