Finished installing the tail lights. I still have to install the 4th brake light(Gotta be safe), and do the wiring. But, I got the hard part done. By the way, never install these kinds of lights without the right size hole saw. It's a nightmare of filing the metal down. I still have some sharp corners to smooth down on the perimeter of the back sheet, but it's getting there.



I can't wait to wire the lights in and start putting the coroplast skin on.

Also, weatherspotter's promised side view. It's a bit disappointing, but it's been raining all day and it's the best shot I could get in the garage. Based by my measurements though, I fall roughly 3 inches shot of the template which I assume is due to sagging when I removed the boat tail's supports.



The top bars have a slight S bend in them due to flexing, but when I put the coroplast on I'll try to straighten that part out
