    Here's the test fit, not to bad. Just a bit more work and it will look pretty good.

    So after further staring at my car i have second guessed my tailight. I feel i need something a little more flowing and i had come up with running a 1937 zephyr tailight, there are really nice looking lights. Thank you to a few buddies for putting together a light for me. I had cut out the other light i was using (1935 ford) and installed the zephyr light. To me this light was meant to be, just the light itself makes the hugest difference .

    Rip off the Calorie Coupe ('36 Ford) and the Hudsen tail lights he used. Those are pretty cool! But they might not fit the build.

    Skoty dude, what kind of disk you use to grind so smoothly?
    Looks all nice and even, almost if you used sand paper to smooth the welds.
    Thanx in advance.

    Oh, and those gauges look really nice, very deco.

    Thanks, my car is higher in the front then the rear. I mounted it so it is level with the running boards. Ill take full shots of the car so you can see how it looks on the car.

    Good choice - looks like it belongs
    Is there a light for both sides or was the original car a one-lighter?

    I know alot of guys run 2 lights and a few with one. I really want to try to keep it with less in the rear so I am running a single light. Thanks for the compliments guys.
