While my roadster is down for a valve job, I took the time to fabricate a bracket for a right side tail light. I didn't want to drill into the body & possibly mess things up, so I made an angle bracket that fits between the frame & the bumper stands, and then bolted the light arm to it. Now I have to splice in the wiring, but if I decide later to remove it, no harm was done.

KOOL, looks great Vern!

I like everything I see - the car, the color, AND the R.H. tail lite addition. I think I might like something like that on my '28 Phaeton, rather than drilling holes in the body.

Hey Vern, your rear end aint as pretty as mine!

I like the look, and I, too, hate to drill holes.

Also, I've seen scores of "Repeal 18" signs. Yours is the first "Uphold 18" that I have ever seen. Is that an original?

Noticed the Zip it rack. Bill Williamson has one and finds it is a great accessory.
