There's not a whole bunch of options when it come to taillights on wagons and El Caminos.
All in all, I like the car. It's nicely done and it means business.. The verdict is still out on the blacked out grille and headlamp doors. A sort of black chrome might look good instead.

I figured that, but that's why I thought blacking out the lamps like I did mine work since I used what I had. Thought I had seen some LED boards being used for those but may have just been someone making them custom. I personally like the blacking out of it, but black chrome could look good as well

I think your idea of blacking out the taillights and using LEDs' is a good one. The taillights are virtually hidden until you hit the brakes....and turn on the running lights of course.

Beautiful car, was the tonno cover home made?
Yes, and still in progress, but it was functional. I don't own the car, but I did ask the owner to sign up here. I'm sure I will see him around, see if I can get more pics/info.
