I hope you have the best of luck with the reproduction turn signal switch.  When I got my car it had a reproduction switch and it failed after several months.  I replaced it with another reproduction and it lasted about a month before it failed. 

I then found an NOS one ($$$$$$), and it has now lasted for over 2 years.  The problem is that with the addition of the 4 extra tail/brake lights, and also the scoop lights that it is just too many amps for a switch designed to run just 2 rear bulbs.

Does anyone know if there any option for LED bulbs that would fit in the same sockets
I would imagine that would reduce the current draw a lot
Make that expensive turn signal switch last a bit longer

I put LED bulbs in the tail lights of my '67 for that very reason, to reduce current draw.  I used replacement 1157s.  No problems so far.  Several places sell these.  I'm sure someone will chime in with a few places.  I bought mine while at Carlisle so don't have a name.

I just finished getting our car ready for the French Lick event. Excited for it!

Rare when you see a really nice 1967 Shelby.  Even more rare if you see an early '67 with all the unique parts, and even more rare when #20 & #23 show up together.

NICE! 

Always great when you can get to see other cars built near the the same time as yours.

Pulled my gt500 out of its 50 year sleep on February 23 2020.
Didn't figure it would take nearly this long. Still waiting for seats, but engine is installed and plumbed. No coolant in the radiator yet, but I had to know! No fuel in the tank yet.
Put in a battery and connected the cables. No hot wires and no smoke. Whew! Walked over to my bench and stared down at a set of keys that hadn't been in the ignition for over 50 years.
Opened the driver's door and saw the courtesy lights come on!
Sat on the carpeting and put the key in the ignition. I will admit I paused for a moment. Turned the key to the first click and the alternator light came on. No funny smells or sounds. Hit start for just a second and the engine turned over!!!
Tomorrow I will put fuel in it, coolant, cross my fingers and hope to
Wake her up.

Took a load of toys out for the Toys for Tots in Loudon, TN in the GT-350 on a beautiful fall day.

Had the opportunity to blow some dust off so I took it........ "honest officer. the fuzzy bear was driving..."

I installed 4 electric motors on my 67. Won't move, no chip included, no batteries included....

Oh, its "Fall back" I thought it was April Fools Day.
