[QUOTE="Jefe, post: 15965497, member: 41358"] Did the "Alice" turn signal mod which utilizes pre '69 turn signals that sit flush in the grill [ATTACH=full]1503921[/ATTACH] Old signals: [ATTACH=full]1503922[/ATTACH] We started getting paint/labor estimates and figured we would sand the rest of the body to save on labor costs until we picked a painter.
