Tried wrapping the dash in suede yesterday. Didn't turn out as badly as I feared it would, hope that impression will last.

It took me a while to remove the painted sidemarkers and install my stock markers. And when I finally got one of them out I wasn’t even sure what I did.
I think someone else mentioned this, but partially removing the fender liner helps. And a good flashlight, and having 3 arms.

Right? I think both of mine are ziptied in now. After removing them 4 times and having one repeatedly pop out I started pulling back the liner and zipping them. Now they go in easy and come out easy. No unwanted pops, no wrestling

First off you replaced the OEM tail lights with aftermarket tail lights.

Then you partially concealed (smoked) the new tail lights.

Why, you didn't like the way they looked? They were too bright?

I'm confused -

I was jest ah messen wich ya -

Back in the day, I had put "blue dot" tail light lenses on my 1948 Chevrolet. I thought they were pretty neat, but a highway patrolman didn't agree.

He was going to write me a ticket until he found out I was only 14 years old. He then told me to pull my car back into the barnyard and he said he didn't want to see me on the road for another 2 years.

See - modifying tail lights can get ya in trouble -

It's for the ALL BLACKED OUT look on black cars typically. He needs black badges next to match.



Better than plasti dipping the tail lights like I see around my area.

You probably had those little blue lights called whore lures in the upper corners of the windshield too, eh?

Well, not in the windshield, but, I did have blue lights in the grill - but, I still didn't catch any -

Did they not have black paint for wheels and the grill in the 50s?

Well, yes, but they kept the grill shiny to distinguish the car as a Mercury and not a low level Ford.

The rims weren't painted because they wanted to show off that they were reversed and chrome plated, which was

PS - mod the engine with a high lift cam and some carbs and it was a street legal machine to be reckoned with -

I'm a bit late on this, but in preparation for a trip up to Western PA for Christmas, under impending snow, I did end up biting on a set of steelies and a set of Continental VikingContact 7s for her first winter. Didn't feel like tempting fate by keeping the Primacies on her for snowy conditions, but you can bet I'll be looking at Direzzas for the Spring/Summer. I do miss my forgies, though. :<

Ride feels a bit different too, definitely bumpier than normal, but I guess that's to be expected with dedicated snow tires.
