48 Ford gets custom tail lights

Here is a couple pics of the new tail light treatment on a 48 Ford that I am working on.
What ya guys think? And yes, that is a Columbia 2 speed rear end under there.






and a little shot of whats happening up front

 

Wow.............looks like a great project........I like the lights.

 

Doing a nice job-what are they off of? How did you do the tunnels?

 

Those look great. Nice job.

 

They look good, great job

 

they are 49 Lincoln tail lights. I rolled sheet metal in a slip roller to get the tunnels.

 

They look like '49 Lincoln to me. Also look good in that car.

 

A big thumbs up from me!

 

Very Kool Not something you see too often and definitely a good look on that car. I really like where you are going. Keep us posted.

 

My buddy "Gearheadforever" has those lights on his Merc.....very nice....I like your car....

 

Eh...

I think I'd like em better not tunneled like above. Or frenched without the bezels.

 

We thought about flush mounting them like on that merc, but they looked crooked when we mocked em up like that, and the customer wanted them frenched. Overall I am really happy with the way they turned out.

 

I hear ya. The customer is always right.

 

Especially when his check clears.

 

You do great work, hope to see the finished product

 

Nice job/nice ride - those Linc taillights are one of the best factory units ever...and your application is exactly how they should look.

Nice...

 

thanks guys.

 

for the sunday crowd.

 

A common conversion from the old days, always looks good.

 

I love the way they look exactly how you have em! The guy must be thriled.

 

I like the look. Nice job.

 

i was just bidding on a set of these to go in my '46 tudor they look great

 

We weren't planning on doing tail lights, but I got such a good deal on these I couldn't pass em up. The guy loves em now that they are in.
