TC header pannel mod

Cougar 2 go's thread on his coach light mod reminded me of this mod I had planned ages ago, but never got around to. I don't see myself doing it any time soon, but I'd love to see it done. So any of you guys with the time on your hands, be my guest, and please post pics when you do. :)

It's a mod for putting a backlight on the T-bird emblem on TC headers.

hey I actually did something like this about a year ago.  Same concept just used a blue neon for show, can't run on the street that way but it looks cool.  I'll go take some pics in a minute.  Nice to know I am not the only one with crazy, BUT REALLY COOL, ideas.

Booyah! Nice work, servingGod! The whole reason I said amber is because it's legal to have that colour on the front of the car or on the sides, as it's the same as aftermarket marker lights. There would have to be a shield to the ground though, as any form of underbody neons will get you pulled over.

So cool, though, man. I'm glad to see it actually works. :D

Actually the blue on the ground that you see is my 7 color changing plasmaglow LED kit. 
  I built a box out of plexiglass mirror, that the neon mounts in, that fits between the header panel and the support.  Without the box light would come up through the hood and every other little crack.  My plans are to eventually put a color changing tube up there so I can have it legal for the road and whatever for show.  I like it alot, and it looks even better in person.

That looks awesome. Just wish I could find a way to do that to a T-bird emblem that isn't on the nose of a TC.

I'm thinking of modifying the grille on my '86 and making a floating Bird emblem in the center of it, and that's something I wouldn't mind making glow like that.

I had a TC hood on my 3.8 bird and put a red neon between the hood scoops. It would glow red out the scoops. I got alot of compliments on that.
