    good thought, that would look good, but these light would not sit well in that spot unless i built a stand. i don't mind the sides being different. and was thinking of making a bracket off the bumper brace bolt so it could easily be added and removed.
    it would be nice to have a backup light but it is not totally needed.

    There are no longer any excuses for not putting this fine piece of machinery on the street. You have the cash, the time, and a place to do it. It is GM's answer to Ford's Model 40. So, GO, Bud. GO.

    Covet those times with your Dad, Bud. Most all of us wish we could have wrenched on an old car with our Dads. My Dad finally "retired" from rod building one freaking year before I bought my first ride-to-be, a '35 Chevy Standard coach.

    Bud, don't feel one bit out of place. Repeating myself, your car is just as cool-looking as the Ford counterparts and is unique a**** rods. A cabinet-maker can duplicate any wood that may be bad even if all of it is gone. Might be as cheap as a wood kit. Good luck.

    Do you advise installing roll-pins in the rocker arm towers ?

    Hey, ct1932ford, is that you at the end of the lower deck panel? It must be the camera that makes you look so fat. Uh, sorry.

    Imagine the stunned look on fender thumpers when they realize your ride is STEEL. They will stagger off mumbling something like, "****, I just knew that coupe was plastic."

    Gary glad your catching up!
    Dave the engine builder suggested that it wouldn't be a bad idea, or to go to screw in type.
