Restoration vs customization

[popeye1978]

A few months ago, one of the columnists in Hemmings Classic Car approached the topic of numbers-matching from the viewpoint that when he was young in the '50s, he and his friends regularly swapped engines in their cars because they wanted performance now and never dreamed that in the future the cars they bought for $50 or $100 would be going for more than 100x that amount ... you could argue that he & his buddies helped reduce the supply of numbers-matching cars, but that's for a different argument.

His conclusion was that to him it didn't really matter as he himself isn't numbers-matching -- he's had a heart transplant.

Sure, here is a link for the vids.

I made a YouTube channel real quick and uploaded them. I got them from ClassicLEDs, LLC. The owner is Larry Bush. He has just straight up plug and play LEDs which are non sequential, and they are just plug-n-go, and he had the sequential LEDs, which I got. You have to attach them to a wire that is hot, even with the key off. The only wife I found was the cigarette lighter wire, which is orange, so I cut into that, ran it through my firewall, and under the frame of the car, back to the bumper. Maybe Im a slow worker, but I took me 7 hours on this past Labor Day. And don't mind the tie-wraps in the first video, they were just there while the silicon that held the faceplates on dried, which took 2 days. Mr. Bush will send you instructions if you ask him. Just go in his web site to look at his products

Very cool, thanks for the info and video! I was looking at something from digitalis, since they are popular with the turb buick crowd and seem to be bright. This are nice also! Thanks again.

You said your dad wants you keep it stock.
My dad would have told me to drop a big block in it, a cage, and some big mickies!
