After I get these made, I am on the downhill stretch! The rest is just some simple to make detail parts.
I am going to attempt to make two of these. | |
A finished taillight and the parts required to make the second. There are two thicknesses of brass plate that make up the front portion of the taillight. There is actually a seam inbetween the two thicknesses to denote where it comes apart to change the light bulbs. | |
A side view of the finished taillight. You can see the thicker part of the front of the light on this shot. | |
Front view. | |
This is the thicker front section with the holes drilled for the screw mounts. I need to file this down until only half of the hole is showing. | |
The face detail soldered to the above piece. | |
Finished and installed. | |
Installed view. I actually drilled two holes and threaded them with a 00-90 tap in the back of the taillight just like the prototype. The screws going into the trailer is a 00-90 bolt and nut. It all comes apart just like the real deal. I still need to put some bolt detail on the front of the lights. These will just be decorative and they will not turn off. |
