    After looking at all sorts of taillights I've come back to the originals for the 31 Tudor. I want to put the origiinal taillights roughly 4 inches up on the rear panel of the Tudor. I want them flush or near to it to keep the ***end of the car smooth. Problem is the roll of the panel will have them tilting out and slightly down. GAK! I'm looking for tips on this project and also any pics of cars that already have it.
    Bad part of living on an island. No rods or shows to look at easily.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Don't be upset if I say Merry Christmas to all,

    Jeff

    Somewhere in another thread I suggest using the original A tail lights and "frenching" them into the back panel of a coupe.
    I invisioned using the back bucket as the "cup" if you will and using the lense retainer as the finishing ring on the outside of the body.
    I feel it would be a clean traditional look and would love to see someone do this.
    and why not use what you have, right?

    Merry Christmas to you to
