Started on the wiring of the back tray
As this is a removable tray just in case I decide to put something different on later on I need to ensure everything is connected with plugs
Photo 1 wiring right hand side.
Photo 2 Left hand side.
Photo 3 Inside plug to indicators.
Photo 4 Plug to the dashboard.
Photo 5 Completed Light just needs to be polished.

Onto the back lights purchased the lantern type lights from Speedway these always look good.
Keeping with the latest technology I wanted to use LED’s. Using the nylon I have lying around made two round discs that will fit into the front of the lens. Purchased like 72 LED’s for the park lights & 2 x 12 volt down lights for the brake light.
A lot of drilling soldering & all looks good the park LED’s are in a circle around the brake light looks just how I wanted it to.
Photo 1 Nylon disc
Photo 2 Red LED’s added these were not bright enough
Photo 3 Down light added
Photo 4 Silicon them all together
Photo 5 Added 16 bright red LED’s to the park lights this brightened them up heaps.

Wet sanded the back tray, went down to the local car paint supply shop & purchased the base coat & clear coat.
Also under the instructions of the team down there purchase a new gravity feed spray gun.
Waited for a nice day as a spray booth is not something I have in the back yard, I sprayed the base coat then applied the clear. Seemed to come out not to bad, I will do the body in a booth.
Next is to wet sand the clear & polish it.

While I’m waiting for the fibre-glass to set on the back tray I decided to played around with the truck mirrors I found on the net.
Took a photo of the window screen support as they are back from the chrome platers, very poor chroming job won’t be going back to them it seems they never cleaned the steel first, the chrome has the steel rolling marks in it. I thought he looked like a very tired person I guess you can’t find everyone that takes pride in their work.
They chromed the diff cover also they never took out the pit marks on the aluminium so this will need to be stripped & re-done, nice one Windsor Electroplaters Adelaide wasted $200.00 bucks.
