I followed a recommended sequence to put on the top, and modified it a little bit. It turned out pretty well for my first one.  I learned quite a bit, and although I hope to never have to do another one, my next would turn out better.

I tried to follow the factory processes for gaskets, retainers, etc.

The texture on the panel was a shot "from the hip".....hopefully it's close.  You can see the difference between it and the SEM Trim Black on the tail light housing.

It just keeps getting better and better. :2thumbs:

My constant shadow.


And my wife thought this was a funny position.  She obvoiusly doesn't spend enough time helping me on the car.  Many others have been way funnier.

Definitely nice work and progress.  I'm not into the reproduction/restoration side of things but your efforts do make the idea very attractive...

I was to post the same LOL, but by some restriction about my location, I can't see the official video, so this was one of  my options:
