I have some tweaking to do in the upper section to get the curve right and to have it set in there correctly. Then all I have left to do is glue them in, and I'll be ready to seal this tail light back up!

It sure is. Good thing I'm good at it

I started gluing in the boards. I'm just using hot glue, but I'm packing it in there. Hopefully it holds up!

It sure looks sweet in person. Maybe by tomorrow I can get a picture of it outside on the car.

That is looking very cool and original! Now will the bulbs that were originally in that housing be replaced with LED bulbs?

As for the hot glue, hopefully it will hold and if not, dis-assemble and try again (2-part epoxy is my favorite).

About $200, a lot of time, and a lot of patients and you can do the same
