I hope you get something productive out of my documentation, experimenting and asshattery!

Otherwise, I won't mind if you point at your monitor and laugh at me.

I've actually bookmarked several pages of your build! You keep mentioning being old, though, and I don't think you're much (if any) older than me...I'm 35, even if I feel 55 sometimes.

41, going on 55 physically. Float between 15-30 mentally.

It'll make sense and hopefully still be funny if/when Ken responds. In short, he did a lot of custom work with his tails and third brake light and I'm hoping he'll post the vid here. Don't watch it if you have photosensitive epilepsy.

Well now you’ve got me all excited!

Those tails are pretty cool, I like them.

Here you go, this is the most recent iteration of the rear-end of the Burb, complete with my version of "Blue Dot" tail lights. I am old school and have always loved the blue dots they used to run in all the old hot rods and such.

For the record my reverse lights are still fully functional white LEDs even though they double as amber turn signals, and yes I did convert my original turn signal location over to an additional brake light.

that flowing third brake light is OUTSTANDING. How the heck did you do that? Logic boards and such?

Had to do some GoogleFu to find information on the blue-dots. Very nice homage to the streetrod days of old.

I stalked him, too. Couldn't find anything. I'm on page 137 of your build thread. Will be doing more reading tonight. Enjoy the reaction-bombing.

Should be required reading here IMHO.

Honestly, it was a really great read, and an introduction into some of the flaws of the GMT900 platform. Threads like his are why I'm still perusing forums in the age of (anti-)social media.

Just got news that my Viking and AFP parts will finally be here this week! That means I can FINALLY drop the nose down 2-3", and cut the bumpstop brackets off the rear!

Thanks, I cheated on this one and bought a pre-made light. The one I originally built sequenced from the center out with turns and brake lights but I kept having issues with the sequential modules so I finally removed and replaced that one.
