Whats wrong with the tail lights? Thinking something more modern?

With the rest of it being all black or clear, I would have went blacked out LED board with the white still showing for the backups like I did mine.

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.

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.
