    Hello again,

    I posted on the "where's Waldo" thread...Anyone know the best way to fit 55 ford bezels on a 53 Customline? I didn't really want to chop into the fender too much since it seems to make more sense to modify the bezel? However, with the bezels being cast, maybe it's the only option? Or maybe there is a hooded bezel that fits the 53 better?

    Any info would help!
    Thanks

    '55 Ford headlight bezels will fit either side so what I would do is take an old '55 bezel and modify it to fit the '53 using epoxy or body filler, then make a mold of it and reproduce it in fibergl***. Custom headlight bezels with no chopping of the fenders, easy as pie.
