   Don Brown is one nice Cal Looker in my book. A lot of nice detail and a great looking car.

It's an A-1 1 5/8" Sidewinder.  I think it looks perfect on his car with the exhaust cut-outs closed up.

Cool thanks. I liked the tuckaway look I used to have but the loop out and back used to bug my. That looks great.

Pretty sure they are these

I just installed a set on my '70.  They are a little too modern/fancy/tuner car for my taste, but they seem to be pretty decent, and they solve the shaved turn signal issue for not much money.  I am still trying to get the turn signals to work on mine with these new lights.  Flashers work perfect and really bright, but no turn signals with the new front LED's.  I tried a new turn switch and an electronic flasher.

Brian,
The LED turn signal lights need some "resistance" added to your system.  Incandescent bulbs have electrical resistance, and it's that resistance that makes the flasher work in your car.  By adding your new "no resistance" bulbs (LED's) it's just like the same problem you have when one bulb burns out and the turn signals stop working.

The fix is going to Radio Shack and buying a couple of different resistors (different ohm ratings) and put one "in line" with the wire that powers each turn signal bulb.  They are really cheap, only a couple of dollars.  Make sure you test the resistor with a Multi Meter first so you get the direction (polarity) correct, because they are directional, like "electrical one way check valves".

I'm not a electrical engineer, just an old guy, that has been down this road fixing "crotch rockets".

6 ohm resister in paralel to the leds 'should' do it depending on your flasher relay. You'll need it to dissipate some heat though so get a heat sink style one like this
