BUILD THREAD 81 Buick/Olds Turbo Wagon 02/15/2024 More Parts!

Are 3d printed parts strong enough?Interesting idea. I have an idea on what to do, I just have to try it out.

Tonight I started working on getting the LED taillights done, so pics to come on that. I have been taking writing up an article for the how to section to go along with it.

I can't wait to see them done.
Looking forward to the article Jim, should be great!

I got the taillights done last night, had to give them 24 hours for the RTV to cure. I'll get out there today and get a little bit of video of them in action. Pics to come later today.

Scott, thaks for the kind words. I just went out this morning, and the RTV is fully cured yet. I'll give them a few more hours in the sun for the stuff to get closer. I have to pull the car out of the garage some so I can get good video. I can tell you that the boards them selves are super bright, in park and brake! I was surprised and pleased.

I would drop digit-tails an email and see if they have plans on dong a set. They have them for the monte, el camino, and a bunch of other cars. you never know.

Yeah i will probably do that...i planned on just throwing some 1157 leds in there but was having issues with both turn signals lighting up (stupid led blinkers thread). I love the look of the digi-tails. Once again Jim, cant wait to see ur longroof done!

I'm looking forward to seeing your LED taillights operational.

As for the 3D printed parts...the way I see it, they make guns and bionic hands and stuff using this process, so it's got to be sufficient for a few trim clips.

The trim is in the mail...you should get them Monday...let me know when you do.
You have a point there Jack! Something to look into I suppose.

I'll look for them in the mail, again, I can't thank you guys enough for all the help!

Here it is! The video of the Digi-tail LED taillights completed. For some reason YouTube shifted the video too far left. I have to figure that out. We all know the car isn't done yet, but here is the video. Pics and a write-up to come.

 
Wow Jim!
Those are awesome. I'm sure they'll be able to wake up the idiots behind you. Between those and a nice bright 3rd brake light. I like that they're sequential.
Thanks for the demonstration video. I think my Euro lights will end up being phased out eventually. You definitely need some candlepower back there.
