In any project with multiple people working on it - there will be disagreements on how the project should be executed. One of these disagreements between Dad and I was simply how to mount some of the new lighting onto the car. This car did not have any lighting - certainly not strobe lights. Dad has been maintaining that the way to affix the magnetic mounted strobe lights was to rivet a piece of steel onto the roof. I have been maintaining that this is unnecessary and would involve not only punching holes into the roof, but altering the originality of the car. Up until now, everything that has been done to alter the original appearance or function of the car could be removed - as it was all bolted in or paint. I saw no reason to alter this approach. Fortunately Dad decided I had a point and worked up this bracket for the strobe light on the front of the roof:
Looks like a bent key hole shape....
But once we extend the bolts being used for the rear view mirror bracket...
This will allow the strobe to be mounted right on the front and once painted - will hardly be visible.
More to come!
