    Thanks for the comments to answer some questions it is a 53 more door 210 so far I just finished the chassis. I put in a 383 stroker I built with a 700r4, MII front end in, Air bag setup, a camaro rear with disc brakes and a 4 link I have frenched in the headlights using the famous merc rings and I am about half finished bull-nosing hood I plan shaving the bumpers a little. Shaving the door handle and suiciding the rear doors. I am planning on a reverse tilt hood using a BMW hinge. The taillights were the first thing I have done on the body in a while. I know some dont like it because it is a retro grade and that is ok I thought about this for a long time before I decided to do it I looked at many different light set ups but either they had already been done or they did not look right I like the tear drop lights and I think it will really set the car off once it is done.

    Pretty cool. You sure won't hear anyone say "I have lights just like those on my '53 to".
