    Hi!
    Please, Do you know where the inner rims of headlights come from?
    It’s not original on T-Birds..

  2. If the inner rims are stainless steel, they may be 1952-53 ford, or 1952-1954 Mercury. Some of these inner rims were chrome plated, not stainless steel.

    The originals were somewhat of a challenge to run cool. With that grill opening it must really be hard to cool.

    Wasn’t that the car rebuilt by a HAMBer in Florida? Maybe he would know what was used.

    I think I have an idea... Simply the original strapping was cut and was chromed and reassembled with legs welded with screws.
