Roadster Pickup gets tail lights
While I am torturing myself about the cost of Big ticket hotrod parts, I am still making headway with the little stuff. I just installed these aftermarket 1950 Pontiac tail lights and a chrome license plate frame on the rear of the roadster pickup. I am not sure if I have ever seen tail lights installed in a tail gate before, but when I got this original 31 tailgate the holes were there anyway, so it was either fill the holes or use them. I had to do a little more grinding and sawing to get the holes to fit the new aftermarket taillights, but I like the look. I will fabricate a set of "boxes" that go on the inside of the tailgate to hide the back side of the lights, and I should be able to use the same bolts that hold the lights in place to hold the boxes on the inside. I have to get the truck a bit higher to finish welding the running board supports solidly (make that 2 cement blocks high plus safety stands), then I will bring everything down to ground level and start mocking up a seat so I can figure out my steering column.Old guy hot rodder

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
