Looks good! I was gonna ask you to post a pic of them where you mentioned them in your "user's rides" post. Are those truck LED's? I've been working on a set myself for about four years now (projects don't move very fast with me). I'm taking a different rought, though - I'm reusing the stock lenses and filters, but with the red parts and backup lights cut out. The backup lights will be white LED, and of course they're gonna sequence. Here's what I've got so far:
2015 Mustang GT Premium - 5.0, 6-speed, Guard Green - too much awesome for one car

1988 5.0 Thunderbird :birdsmily: SOLD SEPT 11 2010: TC front clip/hood ♣ Body & paint completed Oct 2007 ♣ 3.55 TC rear end and front brakes ♣ TC interior ♣ CHE rear control arms (adjustable lowers) ♣ 2001 Bullitt springs ♣ Energy suspension poly busings ♣ Kenne Brown subframe connectors ♣ CWE engine mounts ♣ Thundercat sequential turn signals ♣ Explorer overhead console (temp/compass display) ♣ 2.25" off-road dual exhaust ♣ T-5 transmission swap completed Jan 2009 ♣

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Was it a pain to get all of the LEDs aligned to where they looked correct?

Mine? No, it wasn't a pain - the LED's have "stand-offs" that keep them about 1/8" from the circuit board. I just soldered 'em all on at 90 degrees, then bent 'em down so they'd be at the correct angle.

The white ones I'll be using for backup lights will be a PITA, though - they are lacking the standoffs

No offense but it looks a little ricey but kudo's for making it from scratch. I would have to see with the lens on. Do you have it with the lens on? I think it would look different.

stuffed some trailer lights in the factory bucket, not a bad idea

my personal opinion, paint the stock bucket black
It's Gumby's fault.
