    I have a 71&74 maverick
    bought the paint to redo the decepticon emblems in purple,plus i'm gonna change all the black purple,and take my first shot at painting with a gun.so for now it will be black and purple. I also came up with the bright idea to leave the decepticon emblems& i'm going to fill in the side marker lights and cut out the inner lines of the emblems,make custom lenses and the plan is to have the emblem light up for the side marker/turn signal.It's gonna be TIGHT once it's all figured out maverick_016_original.jpg

    The bracket is the ground. The other wire feeds the other horn.
