    UPDATE
    I finished all the welding on both taillights. (Not hammer and dolly)
    I'm working on getting things ground a bit. Fitting, and mounting the bumper. Put taillights back in, then get the car set on the ground, and take a couple pics for you guys!
    See ya in a few.

    I must admit I did not think I was going to like the Chevy tail lights but the Lee lenses make it.

    For single headlights, you might consider '55-'56 Plymouth.

    Have you thought about using later 50's or early 60's cadillac bumper lights for headlamps?

    I didnt think the tail lights would look right but they are excellent! Leaning them back is a great idea! I love the hood on them

    And you were worried about having viewers? I personally think this in one hell of thread, you've got some vision there my friend. I mean people customize Mercs, Fords and Chevys but not many do 4 door Desotos and take them to the level that you have already achieved and I don't think you are anywhere near finished yet. At least I haven't seen any.

    I've been pretty busy at work, then got sick. So the car has been sitting. But I've been collecting odds and ends I need. So I'll be ready to get back on it soon.
