Has anyone made light buckets for a Parma Chevy Caprice body? Or do you know what would be "perfect" to make light buckets out of for it? What I want to do is add the yokomo strobe light kit to it. So I basically have to attach 8 lights to the front and rear lights. I don't want to drill holes in the body and have the led bulb visible outside the body. I want to have all the lights in a "bucket". My issue is really the fronts because they are long, horizontal and curve around the body on the sides. The rears are long and horizontal as well but don't curve along the sides. Also, I don't want a pound of shoe goo inside the body. I'm making it for someone and its already painted and took me 3 days to paint with all the colors and details. So I don't want it to look all hacked up underneath. Aside from trying to mold something to it, I'm having a brain fart on how to make it look right.

This is the body is you are not familiar with it:

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am thinking with minimal trimming, the Tamiya z-tune Light buckets would go right in there nicely. Check out my build up of Slidewayz and you will see them. Even better, they offer side marker holes too, so you can strobe them, plus run your lights! you may need get two fronts, allowing you to make the rears as well, as they are round to fit the Skyline rears.

I'm fairly new on here. Do you have a link?

Someone suggested legos in another forum. Any other ideas? I'm really trying to get this done soon.
