Oooh! Ooooooooh! You know how disappointed Matthew will be if Faulkner's not skirted at Carlisle, Dick. Can you part with them? If so, PM me what you want for them, I'll send a check back with your taillight housing.

Brackets arrived today, Dick! Thanks so much. You are a real Mensch - did I mention that?

There's a wide end, and a somewhat narrower end - it's hard for me to tell how you oriented, from this pic. Maybe, the rod on the skirt engages the bracket on the wide end?

I never noticed that, l would say the final position of the rod would be the small end if it fits. It should have a rubber dampner on it.

Oh no! The passenger side hinge a spring took a hit. I'll have to touch that up. Mostly, this is just shop dust that has to be cleaned up


I really love how it came out - although, there are a couple spots that need some 2000 grit blocking and polishing. I talked to the owner, he's going to fix it when I drive it back after all the lights are hung.

All I need now is a minor miracle, to put this all back together before Carlisle. But it's still in the low 40's and raining like a sumnabitch here. This is like no spring I have ever seen... (*tap*, *tap*...) Hello Matthew, is this mike on?!? 8)

Oh Noes! I'm going through my Gary Goers stash - and my taillight bulb sockets are too big! They're 1", and they should be 3/4"...

Anyone know a good source for these? I need four single terminal, and two double terminal.
