    For those that remember my Cyclops tail light I made on my computer, well, its one step closer. I finally got someone to make the bezel. The profile is exactly like a stock maverick tail light bezel. It still has to be sanded & polished. Since it is made from aluminum, it will look much like chrome when done.

    I couldnt find the original picture I posted so here is what it will look like. I will shave off the filler and move it inside the trunk like I alreday did for my Comet GT.

    Have you decided on what you will do for the lens setup? Maybe you could set up some sort of sequential flashers?

    Definitely going with some sequential set up. The whole thing will light up on running and brake. Should be blinding.

    Very cool Dennis - it is fun having a "one of one" taillight set up! :dance:

    I finally finished mine and built the sequential harness. I used the "Thundercat" brain box. It works perfect!

    Gene, I had a whole thread about them over the winter. Lots of pictures.

    Dennis' cyclops is totally unique and an inspiration - I love the way it will be one solid lens without the dividers like mine. Fabricating up prototypes and creating something unique is totally Maverick!
