I made the Bow Tie out of .080 thick Aluminum, and stuck on some old school Corvette flags using 3M tape.
The back end is getting a little cluttered with flags,woodpeckers and Speedwagen script..but anybody with blue tail lights has already proven themselves to be tasteless :)

The new flagged bowtie really looks nice. I might have to copy that design.

I pulled into a gas station on a foggy night,and when I stepped on my brakes the blue dots lit the fog up with an erie glow. When I went inside, the kid at the counter was grinning and said Blue Tail lights ---cool. Then he said hey man what was it really like in the 50's?..trying to do my best Fonsie, I told him it was the coolest time ever. He replied..man I wish I could have been there...and I wish I could go back!
