Went to the LHS today. Surprisingly, they didn't have anything I was looking for. Not wanting to leave empty handed, I picked up these two. The Jeep was $23, the Stude isn't really my thing but it was only ten bucks.

Nice rack.

I don't think many places have exceptions. From what I've seen, a common remedy is rewiring the reverse lights to be the turn signals and changing the bulb to an amber one. Then adding clears somewhere for the reverse lights. It isn't as noticeable a change as the cars pictured.

That looks so wrong.

Since we're talking about taillights, this is a modification I did on my 93. Probably nobody would ever even notice, but I wanted to do it. In these pictures they're on my 99, but I redid them and put them on my 93 instead. First picture, left is modified right is stock. Second picture both modified.

Mine's a 99 C1500 OBS. I just checked again to make sure, the hazards don't flash when you step on the brake.

Every GM I have ever owned that didn't have rear facing amber lights, the newest being a 99 with a third brake light.

No, the hazards do not override the brake lights. Not on my GM vehicles. When you step on the brake the lights remain illuminated and both dashboard turn signal indicators stay illuminated.

Amber indicates the front of the vehicle is facing you, red means the rear is facing you. From the side you can tell which way the car is facing. In low visibility situations.

What parts are non stock in the '57? I won't buy the custom Apache because of the lack of the stock grill, but I would consider it if it's just the wheels. They might get more sales if they included the custom parts as well as the stock parts.

I like the Caddy. I had a baby blue '78 as my second car.

093 looks like a Buick Century.

A picture of the actual product would be great.

Of course after all that work on the truck the water pump started leaking. I've been checking the coolant level regularly and it has been dropping slightly, my wife parks on the slab so I saw a pool under it today. It was only 4 years old.

Much worse for me. Now my phone will sleep before the next page loads. It's set to sleep after one minute of inactivity.

Wow! It almost looks real.

I finally took the van out two days ago. It worked fine, didn't stall out, so I thought it was fixed. Took it out earlier and it died on me, right in the intersection of two six lane highways. People are horrible, like they thought I was impeding their progress on purpose. Hazards on, people still laying on the horn. I was in the left turn lane, couldn't coast to the right side because everyone has to swerve around me on both sides. So I made it to the middle lane, wait for everyone to pass, then push the beast to the right. But it was an incline, I could only go so far. More people blowing the horn, wait for it to clear, roll it backwards and make it to the right lane. Wait again, more horn blowing, push it to the shoulder. Don't want to help me, fine, I don't expect it, but blowing the horn and whizzing right next to me while I'm obviously broken down is uncalled for. I called my friend to pull me off the road into the parking lot right there. He took me to get the ICM, the second of three parts that could be the problem. The ignition coil was definitely bad anyways, the pickup coil was working, that has to be it. Swapped it on and went on my merry way.

It's getting worse. 30 seconds from click to display.

I don't usually say anything, because someone else does, but the site has been really slow the past few days.

Nice wiper placement.

My first car, a '78 Firebird, had a straight six with a TH350.

The parts seem to be laid out where the ones that would be chromed are on the same tree. I figure they're just not chromed on these samples.

The one I go to doesn't get all of the releases at once. They get some, I check later they get more different ones. I just checked Wednesday, they got in more different ones. Postal Pinto, Rick Shaw or whatever it is, some others I don't remember.

Mustang that's been in somebody's front yard for quite some time:

That looks nice. I'll be watching.
