Replacing Qtr Panel Inserts on Ken's '57
 

  • This is something I'd been meaning to do for a long time

  • It was fairly easy and made a nice difference with the new gold emblems

  • I used the Danchuk part number 573S

Michelle Bernal's 1955 Nomad LED Light Conversion
 

  • I had noticed Mark Longshore's very cool LED lights on his car, and he offered to install them for me if I ordered them and sent me the Danchuck URLs with the correct order info. Attached are the pics from installation day at Mark's place this January. I wanted to publicly acknowledge and thank Mark during a meeting when we are both there but this is a great way to share a project and thank him also.
