Re: 1968 Mercury 250 Camper Special
After fighting with my speaker and radio for a few days, I need to go to plan B and just use the speakers up in the headliner once it's installed until I run across an original speaker to install. Ordered parts to finish off the wiring then primed my glove box door and ash tray so I can finish up the interior. Paint them tomorrow, engine bay shouldn't take long to do the wiring. I can see the light at the end on the tunnel now.....just hope it isn't a train!

Re: 1968 Mercury 250 Camper Special
One of those colors will work for sure and work a lot better. I used a bright aluminum color paint and it really turned out well with good reflectivity.

I saw a post where they used that bright aluminum duct tape and it came out great.

Re: 1968 Mercury 250 Camper Special
This what they look like in the day time with the aluminum painted insides, I think they will be bright enough for turn indicators..

Re: 1968 Mercury 250 Camper Special
Cleaning and painting is what I like to do and it looks so much better than just installing all the old parts the way they were. That is my version of NOS.(new old stock).

Re: 1968 Mercury 250 Camper Special
Well finally got out from under my dash with everything in and connected, working not sure yet??
This is what it turned out like. Next up is the headliner and trim with the sun visors.
