Some of you guys will probably think this is stupid but thought some of you might like the idea. Got the marker light in today from ROCKETMAN269V, Thanks Bob fast shipping everything perfect. I made it for my son he had come with me to look at a 68 and thought the marker lights were cool so...

 

Get em started early...

 

Cool idea.... That might keep your son's interest spiked and want to see more of the hobby.....

 

Groovy!

I like it

 

I need one. Sceered of the dark too ya know. Every child should have a Dad like you.

 

Thanks I am actually disappointed it didn't take more time to do, I like stupid little projects especially this time of year.

 

Nice work NJ. How about a pic of the back side? Interested to see how you did it, very cool.

 

Hard to really tell in photo but once I cut the back of the housing and bent it down I cut a U shaped channel to fit the grove under the light. I bent the corners inward to help reflect light forward and it made it so it will not pull off the plug . Ohh and cut the bottom stud off, overall it's on there pretty solid no movement at all when i plug in or out.

 

that's sweet!!!! and I have an extra marker light or two laying around...

 

Genius, says my medium kid

I see a market for these, can you make a few ?

 

Yeah no problem, going to make at least one more for my bathroom

 

Watch YearOne grab this and mass mkt them for 49.99 each! I think your light is that cool, it would sell.

 

Yes very cool. The 69s are slightly slimmer. I wonder if they would be easier to work with? Better copy write it.

 

I just ordered another 68 and watching a auction for 2 69's. I am going to make a few and put them on ebay but not sure if someone would pay 49.00 cause much less and your making them for free. Also going to do one from a VW bug the teardrop looking blinker from mid 60's, my Daughter drives a bug so another x mass gift done hopefully.

 

Shoot, China could assemble these babies for about a buck a piece. Slave labor and no concern for the environment help. A real honest to goodness made in the U.S.A. Olds Nightlight is way more expensive to make here as you pointed out. I got an electric trunk release off epay the other day. Went on YearOne(?) and it was the same price new. My point? The one I have looks great and is stamped, "Made in the U.S.A." I'll take it over something that is coming from overseas any day.
I really like your work. Very imaginative and crafty. Plus, super cool. If you make one for me I'll give you fifty bucks for one. Plus shipping of course!

 

I am more then happy to make you one. I just won a auction for a 68 on ebay today so hopefully I will have it within the week.
