pretty cool but your flasher isnt messed up.
your cars signal relay can't be triggered by the low draw of LED lamps so your car is telling itself that the lmaps are burnt out.

there's three ways you can fix this.
1. buy an LED flasher unit.
2. buy an LED load resistor
3. wire an inline 1157 bulb and paint it black..............then hide the **** out of it..

if you're a broke genius like me, you go for option 3.
if you have money, go with one of the first two,prefferably #1.

looks like a good project though.
now lets see some bodywork

That is some great work. If you wouldn't have said it i would have never guessed that all that grey was hand made metal. Looks like its coming along nicely.
