    Took out the ugly lights today. Those drove me nuts....Painted the tail panel orange because I didnt have any black paint. I think it looks alright.

    I'm sure you have a plan.. I might have done something like leave the bumper body color and paint the new bezels body color..

    Much better, but those battery posts and the kill switch all on one side and nothing on the other make it look lopsided. Anything you could put on the other side to balance it up?

    Does the middle light count as a 3rd brake light? :)

    Id do bumper body color,black panel and black lights.
    Huge improvement over that initial mess though.

    Thats what I wanted to do, but didnt have any black paint and the bumper was pretty chipped up. Doing this didnt cost me anything.

    Well I finally traded the 75 maverick. I will miss doing burnouts in the street.....I got a 68 mustang coupe 6cyl 3 speed. needs interior work. and a 66 mustang coupe, needs a complete restoration. Along with an extra 6 cyl, 302 and extra parts.
