So,
I was considering snagging a set of early 4th gen Camaro taillights (the 93-96 style) because I like the all red light look in the back. I don't know if the wiring/bulb setup is identical...anyone know...Brandon?
i'm also considering doing the modification to the lens of the Berlinetta so it'll be an all red.....I know Paul and John did this, and I seem to remember paul telling me he used some sort of translucent model paint. Spesifically, do either of you remember what you used?

and on that note....
Chris and I hit the damascus yard today to get the core charge on his rearend and decided to go exploring. we came upon a crunched 4th gen vert and he snagged the taillights off of it. i got an 82 3 speed shifter ball too (worth big $$ casue it is a KITT part... EBAY).
BEFORE: the plain jane 2001 rearend with ambers.
AFTER: we installed the new (older) lights and got everything plugged in. none of the locking tabs linned up, but i think they will stay in ok. the "right" way to do this would have been to get the rear lighting harness out of the older car as well. oh well.
