I've been a little bored lately

Soooo, since  last Tuesday, I've been off work due to yet another kidney stone issue.  All I could basically do was sit around slightly reclined, and drugged  up ;).  I decided to do some minor work on some of the parts I had bought. I  removed the taillights of the T-bird and took them apart, holy cow were  they dirty!! That was it for me that day. The next day, I replaced the rear view mirror and the D/S side mirror glass, then I washed  the housings. There wasn't much reflective surface left. I forgot to  get before  pictures though. I cleaned the lenses and started restoring  them but that was it for the day. So, yesterday I repainted all the  parts for the taillights. I wanted to get them done before have the  stone (which turned out to be 3 stones all stuck together and stuck in  place) removed today. Tomorrow I plan to reseal the lenses  back to the housings and reinstall them in the car. I'll try to  remember to get day & night pics. Now for a few pics

Thanks Vinnie, I'll try to find some. Wife is fine with it but I'm not.

I got it on Ebay for about $7.00. Peel the back and stick it on (after cutting it to the size you want), then peel the clear top layer....chrome.
