Thank you! It's a Mack truck blue, just a tad off of the Mustang "Grabber Blue". I couldn't afford the 3 stage Neon blue that I really wanted.... LOL _________________ FORWARD: forward is only a good thing, when you're facing the right direction!

Very nice. Is that the original configuration of the tail lights? What's the purpose of the lower cover? _________________ 74 VW Thing - Walküre
