Re: Quick Review of my 2001 season - Lots of pix (Danilo Strunk)
Danilo or any other german speaker, would you be willing to translate this for us? This came rom that 8ung site and I'm pretty sure it's instructions for making the white/red tails:
Für weiß-rote ist etwas mehr Arbeit erforderlich, hier muß das alte Glas rausgetrennt werden. Das geht am Besten mit einem Dremel und einem Mini-Sägeblatt. Den Fals dann mit einem Mini-Schleifstein sauber machen. Die Rückleuchte abkleben, und den Innenteil mit Chromspray lackieren. Dann ein passendes Plexiglas nehmen, anpassen und einkleben (Kleine Anmerkung: Das hört sich alles einfach an, ist aber nur für den Hardcore-Bastler etwas). Die Plexigläser sehen natürlich besser aus, wenn man sie ums Eck biegt, statt einfach glatt aufzukleben, wie es z.B. Clearcorners macht. Ein weiteres Problem wird es sein, passendes Glas zu bekommen. Ich habe über Umwege etwas von Ford-Gläsern bekommen. Aber das können die ganzen Besserwisser natürlich aus dem Ärmel schütteln. Schade, das das Projekt wieder aus Zeitgründen fallen gelassen wurde, hier ein paar Bilder der weiß-roten Rückleuchten:
I have French, Dutch and Spanish under my belt, but this is beyond me.

Aw come on Dutch is just a dialect of German ( J/K , I haven't spoken Dutch since I was 12, 21 yrs ago
) This is a really quick translation so don't mind the bad grammar.
For the white-red ( lights) there is a little more work involved, the glass must be removed. This is best done with a Dremel and a mini-sawblade. You can clean it up with the small grinding stone. Mask off the taillights and spray the inside part with Chrome spray paint. Then take an appropriate piece of Plexiglass and cut to fit and glue it in . ( A quick comment: This sounds really easy but is only for the serious hobbyist). Of course the Plexi looks better if you bend it around the corner instead of gluing it flat like Clearcorners does. Another problem will be to get the appropriate glass. I have , with some difficulty got some Ford glass. But of course the "know-it-alls" can find something better. It is a shame that the project has been dropped due to timing problems/lack of time. Here are a couple of pictures of the tail lights.
I hope that helps, enjoy.
