    Hey,

    The Night Prowler kits arn't a bad way to go "if" you like that look.
    If you wind up going the 'build it yourself route' I wouldn't recommend
    using a oem stainless steel headlamp door. Go with a carbon steel one
    instead, as stainless steel in contact with carbon steel will soon start to
    rust because of the nickle in the stainless. Also, don't go with the filler
    only over the door, as even with the "Kitty Hair" filler, over time will
    crack. A full weld with little or no filler is best for no troubles in the
    future with rust.

    What kind of car do you want to put them on? I saw that kit mounted on a '51 Chevy and it was okay but too blunt for the front edge of the fenders. That could be fixed by extending them out a bit and then reshaping the outside leading edge, but I'm guessing if you wanted that much work you wouldn't want a kit, right?
    The '52 Mercury rims and bezels (also available from Night Prowlers) will do you fine, as long as you mount your headlight buckets from the inside of the fender before welding those rims on!
    There are threads on this topic on the HAMB.
