    Im looking at '37 Ford tail lights for a Model A Roadster, .... maybe on short 90 deg stands? I've seen similar set-ups on '32 Fords with rear mounted fuel tanks, but Im not sure how it will look on an A with no rear tank?
    Anyone have a pic of this combo?

    I don't have a photo but I have seen them mounted under the rear panel on Model A's.

    I made a couple of small spacers and mounted them on my pickup. HRP

    You got there first. I was going to say hang them under the back with a small roll pan.

    I checked So Cals website, they do have the stands, Im still not sure how it would look on a roadster. On a pick up or '32 they look great. Im starting to lean towards '48 Chevy lights on a roll pan?

    Yeah, she was way before my time. I was a post muscle car baby... missed all the good stuff! But I can still appreciate those "Cl***ic" lines.
