    Ok few more shots. Got my quarter primered and read for guide coat. The grill is crooked i know due to me not finishing the brakets on the spotlights mounted backwards.

    No these are GM S-16 spotlights mounted to dummy shafts like the ones you order from Night Prowlers and Mooneyes.
    I took the original housing from the s-16s and mounted them to the dummy shafts.
