Can u tell? I really like this CAR... I have more plans, that I hope to make happen soon!
Today! I lit up the Scepter Panel With the SE black panel, it lacks the harness to include the brake lights in the center panel. I lucked out today and found the harness to make it happen! Here's a couple of teaser pics!

I do the same with Milt. I always refer to my wheels as Milt's wheels.
