James: Didn't mean to exclude your comments, you and I must have been typing at the same time. Dan and I just had this same discussion last night about the turnsignals. I have them on my '27, and still supplimented them by always sticking my arm out and using it to indicate I was turning. I just didn't trust those little '47 Chevy taillights to be seen. On this car I am only going to run one taillight.........a huge taillight. I bought one on Ebay a while ago that is about 7 inches in diameter, and it says "STOP" across the face. Having the one light limits me to not having turnsignals, although I could add a couple small ones in the frame corners.

I know what you mean though, and I am still pondering that decision, but the tried and true arm out the window gets their attention because you rarely see that anymore. In fact, if I am making a left handed u turn at a red light, I still hang my arm our the window of my regular car, because I want the car behind me to know I am doing more than just turning left into the next intersection, I am going to go in a U. Saves them climbing up onto your rear bumper sometimes.

What do you mean about Florida drivers? I've never noticed anything bad about them. NOT !!!! I think all the other States have some law where they deport them to Florida.


Good comment though, and I may regret that decision and have to change it down the road.

James: I did exactly the same thing one time. My first wiring job I thought it would look much better not to have all those different colored wires running around, so I did it all in red wire so it would blend in nicely with the red paint. Then I found out why they do it this way when I had to fix a problem and trace the wires. I went crosseyed trying to follow that one wire. lol
