Here's the place. http://www.haneshotrods.com/lights-tail-rectangular-led-pair-ac-shelby-cobra-replica-hotrod-ace/
You have to do some wiring changes to run them. Either a relay system or taillight converter. They are a lot brighter than the
standard bulb lights.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm really having fun driving it. Never had so much attention or talked so much in my life. I have discovered people seem to like the fact I built it more than if it was an original. Seems they always ask if it's real and I tell them I built it. Then the questions and praises really start

Very nice. Take it to a car show and watch the guy next to you with the new Stingray sit and twiddle his thumbs while everyone talks to you. Sorry GoDadGo but they get that kind of attention. Enjoy the ride and the great conversations!!!

What TPS did you buy for the Speedmaster? I just received my stacks, thought I could use the TPS off my Mass-Flo, but no go.

Bob-

She looks fantastic; congratulations on a beautiful build!

The interior looks awesome, and the details are very well done.

One question, in your details you mention a fully insulated body. Is it the bedliner, or did you do something else? Can you explain what you mean here? Thanks!

Very nice build!

Regards,

Steve

Tps came with the Holley HP ecu. But, I believe it's a standard GM item.

Actually that is referring to the chassis. Guess I should have stated it different. The body is fully coated with bedliner.
