Cool Boneyard Hauler Gets Lights!

Hey All. WE all know this trailer and love pulling it around the shows so after Talking to Russ a few months ago and i got to have to honor of lighting it up. I picked up his trailer a few wekks ago when i was there so i can light it up and make it glow. So Since i had just got done with one project i figured id get this one done as well!

I had to take the trailer apart into 2 sections as it was easier to glue and solder the wires!!! Well enough talk ill give ya some pics. Here is where i am now

We all know the drill glue, solder, then test
I used 1.8v 30ma LEDS in series of 5 with a 100ohm resister on every negative wire. Because of this all negitives had to be ran to one central location to get equal luminosity out of the leds...(yeah had to re wire a row after the first 5 were bright the last 5 dim made a nice fade look though)

Glue


Then solder


Test


Then i make it look nice and clean replace any dim leds


Then after a couple hours of soldering and testing etc.... you finish a half.


Took me a day to wire this side... Hmmm maybe i can finish today

What do ya think so far???? Cant wait to get the other side done and it all back together its gonna be bad a$$!!!!


Thanks for looking!
