Bought a Set of Pinto Tail lights

I was thinking you could modify a second set of taillights by cutting off the back up light portion and graft them together making your own Bobcat tail lights. It would have a seam but if done neatly I think it would be hard to see. If I had an extra set I would try. I think the Bobcat lights look better, but the dual lights isn't much different. They would also look cool with some sequential flashing lights light Cougar or Shelby lights.

 

I have Bobcat tail lights that I did away with the small back up light sections and instead added pieces from my extra red Maverick lenses. I also added extra bulb buckets to the reflector sides on the Bobcats and cut out my tail panel for them to clear so there are 3 separate sections that will light. I bought an aftermarket sequential control from Ebay to light them up. I just moved my back up lights to my valence using re-pops from a 65 Mustang.

 

Cool! I'd like to see a video of that working when you get it done.

 

Here's a link to an old post that has some pictures of the tail lights. That is as far as I got on them because I got more involved in the dirtier parts of the restoration work.

I've got them on my very large "to finish" list.

OK, you are making me confess. Not that anyone on a Maverick/Comet group would care, but I do own a '76 Pinto Wagon that I am slowly putting back together. It's an all original, 65k Texas car that has a solid body (except for some small issues), and needs a lot of mechanical work (though it runs great).

Should I change my description ?

Pintos are cool little cars - somewhat like a mini Maverick.

Members list a lot of their cars here that aren't Maverick/Comets. :Handshake
