Beautiful car - congratulations!

You can put the shovel away now, it's not going to snow anymore.

Nice ride DINGER ......... thanks for the picks ......... your color choices have that Classic look ! You are gonna love it!

LEDZEP · 04-01-2006, 10:11 AM

Hey, dumb question and completely

, but where did you get the mounting plates for your porch lights?? Your are similar in style to mine and I was never able to find a mounting plate and had to have them made by hand just to fit...

Sorry everyone for the segue

Sounds like a major chord being played! Congratulations!

Congratulations - good colour choice. Your car looks identical to mine inside and out.

Dinger325xi · 04-01-2006, 12:27 PM

Hey LEDZEP, I actually don't have any idea where those mounting plates came from, but when I took a closer look it seems that mine must have been custom made also. Nice job with yours.

LEDZEP · 04-01-2006, 12:59 PM

Thanks Dinger. I figured the builder might have put them on and you wouldn't know, but thought I'd ask.

We have a carpenter in the family that made those for me, so I can't take the credit... but it was my idea, so maybe I get credit for that..

We now return this thread to car talk and congratulatory remarks for Dinger's new baby...

Beautiful looking!! Blue and beige is a classy look.

LedZep - LOL at the shovel comment!

I bought some pre-made from lowe's. I actually cut off the lip for siding as my house is brick. My builder put lights on my house that didnt quite cover up the electrical box. So you use to be able to see the bright blue electrical box, yuck...

Check lowe's or your local home improvment store. You might have to ask for help. The ones I found were by mistake. They were on clearance on a rack in the middle of an isle. The ones I purchased are not wood, some kind of other material. Textured like wood on the front...

Back on topic, nice choice!
