I have been working on her the past few months, and have just tonight brought her home, ready to be driven! (once the $#@% salt is gone from the roads)
I made some 'improvements', to my eye anyway...shaved off her eyebrow stainless, because I didn't have good pieces, and made a slight modification to the tailights/fins
I never cared for the 59 Plymouth tailights or squared off fins,
I think Chrysler cheaped out/got lazy (due to financial woes I'm sure), and the Plymouth deserved better.
The paint is Endura low gloss black with 2009 Chrysler Blaze red pearl on the roof and spears.
I did everything myself, except my mom helped sew the seatcovers. I found the fabric for the seats
and headliner/package tray/etc from a local fabric shop. I did this on a budget, and have a
total investment
of only about 4000 bucks in her now. Can't wait to drive her!

Neil, to answer your question, No they would not often be all on at the same time, as middle is back up, top is signal (yellow, as most new vehicles up here anyway are) and bottom is tail and brake. It should be legal, the colors are right!
5859, No that's just a side V from a 58 I added...thought it seemed right to be there.
