Default New look for the Deuce.

What I did today --- Worked on the Engine bay changed plugs and wires, lost the engine cover and painted stuff red n gold. Lots of scrubbing.

Still have considerable more work to do yet

Some members wanted a beter shot of my new LEDs too.

Thought about it then thought better of it. I used aluminum foil, tape and newspaper to mask it off. High heat crinkle red for the intake and valve covers are high heat crinkle black (Those I took off, and then decide to do the wires and plugs while ther where off) I did the front bank awhile back the rear bank today, the rear was a pain.

Thanks everyone worked hard on her today have two more breaksand rotors to do tomorrow along with some smaller stuff.

Thanks so much !!!
They are lightning eyes by plasma glow duel color they flash amber when the turn signals are on.

They are a 19inch LED strip. I took the Anzo's out filed down a sharp corner by the yellow round light (no ill effect on the Anzo light it was just excess plastic tab that was sharp and hidden from view}.

I did not trust the 3M tape used by the strip so used Scotch Super strength glue as a precaution. I just placed the strip along the inner edge of the light (not the face of the Anzo but the edge adjacent to the car facia. Wired them to the Anzo's and was good to go
