Tony -

:applause: I really like that bed set-up two. #2 (if #1 ever gets built) will be a standy. I don't care for the wrap around dinette set-up and don't need a table - too cramped when the table is up and too much hassle to change over to the bed. I'll file your idea in the "to be copied" file.

Well I just found this thread today - 8 pages and I missed it??

Anyhow nice looking build, I like the way you have worked from the inside out. The bed set-up is fantastic.


Oh and any progress to report? It's been a while :)

Hey, go with 3 lights on each side; then get a sequencing unit like the old T-birds and Cougars used

On mine I looked for a long time at different auto tail lights to possibly install on mine, the cougar being one of them! I do remember seeing pics on the board once of a teardrop with 64-66 Mustang tail lights. They're 12volt after all!

I think it is Kurt from Indiana with the Mustang lights.

I personally like the wider Cougar lights, I think it may be in part to knowing 2 people that had late 60's Cougars.

Ahhh! How appropriate is that with a Mustang towing it! Excellent!

I guess using the generic lights vertically does pull off the cutlass look pretty well though and those lights are sooo easy to install..

That is one excellent door you got there! Nice work with the door handle, I cannot bring myself to call it a latch, it deserves much more of a name than that! That hinge will last ya too! A good days work!
