59 Caddy taillights-Who's got 'em? Let's see 'em!

Count me in

 

jawdrpn36,
can I see a shot of those wheels? The knock offs look super cool.

raunchero13,
It should be said, yeah your lights do look great, refreshingly "new". But not only the lights but overall, the car looks spectacular. The pic in your avatar looks really proportioned and such. Any threads on the hamb outlining your build? I live close enough that hopefully I'll see this thing first hand sometime.

 

Thanx man! I like it and im glad you guys like it! I had no idea what i was getting myself into when i started this project, i had no intention of making this car a beauty!! Hell i didn't even know what i wanted, i didn't even think i could build a car. But now things are different and i wanna finish it has best i can. I honestly truly couldn't do it without this forum, i dont know shit, i just research on here and study what other people have done, WITH PASSION!!!

thanx again

Ian

 

Worked for me in the backup light pods below the stock 55 Olds tail lights...........

Thanks, I'm excited to go to GG this AGAIN weekend.

 

Too kool for the room.

 

Wowee, some great ideas so far. I have somewhat of a new idea of how to do this, without copying anyone on here. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep 'em coming!!

 

I use the clear lens with red "condoms" over the bulbs. It seems to blend in a little more with a white car, and they look kind of cool at night with that whole socket all lit up.

 

Here's some on my 38 Chev coupe and my Harley

 

Sorry, its a bit upclose.

 

I tried this same thread a while back, but the thread died quick. It had the FNG anchor on it maybe.

here is my 62 with a very shaved version of the 59 lens. last picture is how it was originally. probably wont be able to tell if you dont know the 62 well.

 

Got a pair on each side

Stuffed deep in a 46 full Kustom

 

Here's the ones on my 1937 International with old glass blue dots.

 

Ian your car is looking amazing man. The light treatment is right on.

I wish i was still in N. Hollywood so i could come by and check it out

 

I got em the easy way.

 

Just done this for my 26T project



First job was to drill out the old bases.





Next job was to remove all the sticky out bits.









Next some simple brackets were made up after shortening the stud posts the thickness of the bracket material.








The lights now fit in the bezels nice and snug and nice and deep

I think these are way cooler lookin than the ones that stick out like a dog dick

 

The tail lights just with a little grinding in my 54 housing.

 

Turn and Burn!

 

Holy shit, man! Beware to the unsuspecting kid that doesn't watch where they're going at a show, they're gonna get their eyeball ripped right outta its socket with them fins o' doom!

 

There was a thread on here about that exact subject back when He first did them.

 

Well the bike was filthy when this was taken, this had to be more than 5 yrs ago, I cracked that `glass fender backing into a curb.

 

i cant remember how to post pics, but mine in my 40 dodge can be seen in my avatar.
