Re: [T3] Little Black Boxes


ahh no Dave, i'm talking about these guys...

having it original is just to keep from having to mess with the wiring and have flashers and relays hanging all over, and so it gives a good fit i guess.  if you saw my 65 you'd wonder why i was anal about the flasher, when there's still holes in the floor ;)
