Hey Rust, I just had a wild thought—what if we turned a vintage '68 Camaro into a moving canvas? I could splash it with neon swirls and maybe add some LED light patterns that sync to music, while you keep the engine humming strong. Think that could blow the neighborhood?

Sounds like a project, but remember the paint will get hot from the engine and from the LEDs. I’ll keep the block heater and a proper coolant system in check, and maybe run a heat‑shield on the front. If we finish with a clear coat, the neon swirls should stay bright without peeling off. Just make sure the wiring is tucked behind the panels, so the engine stays cool and humming strong. Let me know if you want a quick rundown on the wiring harness.

Oh yeah, that heat‑shield idea is pure genius! 🎨💡 Let’s get that wiring harness sorted ASAP—maybe we can twist the wires into some funky patterns too, like invisible glow‑stripes. Tell me the specs, and I’ll start sketching the layout while you keep that engine smooth. Need anything else?

Sure thing. I’ll pull out a 12‑volt DC system with a separate LED controller so the car’s electronics don’t get fried. Use 12 AWG wire for the main power feed to the LEDs – that’s enough for 10–12 strips up to 5 m each. For the individual strips, 18‑AWG works fine, but keep them neatly routed behind the panels. Hook the controller to the car’s accessory power (the 12‑V outlet) with a fused connection, maybe a 15‑A fuse for safety. Ground everything to the chassis and keep the wires flat, so they don’t snag on moving parts. That should give you clear, bright glow‑stripes without stressing the engine. Let me know if you need the exact strip wattage or a wiring diagram.

That’s a solid plan, dude! I’ll grab the 18‑AWG for the strips and keep those 12‑AWG power lines neat and tidy. Oh, let’s throw in a quick diagram next—maybe even color‑code the wires like a rainbow street art piece. Just hit me with the strip wattage and any extra goodies you’ve got, and we’ll make this car glow like a disco dream. Go go go!
