This was my easiest project yet!

The die cast car had translucent headlights pressed into holes cast in the metal.

A little hot melt glue on 2 LEDs and I'm done.

You could wire it to track power and put a decoder inside to control the lights. Maybe a custom sound project with '57 chevy engine sounds and a horn.....just a thought.

Well, since the Chevy isn't going anywhere, you could just wire it to a switch on your control panel. :D

I didn't notice the ornament until I looked at the picture. It is amazing what I see in my pictures that I don't see on the table.

Crooked ornaments, dust........

The ones on the far right are DC.

The center ones in the top picture are AC.

Nice Chevy. Very impressive with the lights. My first car was a second-hand 58 Chevy. By the time I got it, it was a rust bucket. Those 55-56-57s really look great.

I wish it was red.

The color is correct, but a red Chev is the best!
