    Those look nice.

    I am looking for a solution for the license plate deal myself. I like the look of the shaved deck lid and smooth, one piece, bumper. Where and how to mount the plate so it doesn't look like an afterthought?

    Under the bumper linear actuator operated. Down when driving. Up when parked. A lot of roadsters use them.

  3. Great collection Mark, thanks for sharing them... That E**y listing was here in Washington , up by the Canada .. Looks like the listing was ended by the seller.. Hopefully @Moriarity it won't take another 20 to find the other side... I wonder what became of all the patterns and designs and equipment..

    The lenses with the white background with the red on them . Is the red part laid over the white or is it an insert ?

    The red is on top of the white. The white is opaqued with black paint so light won’t come through the white part. There is a hole in the white just smaller than the red part so the light will come through the red

    I like those the best too, that’s why when I made lenses for my corvette last winter I made red on white ones. 0FDC33EF-E46F-4491-B468-BD1554211F46.jpeg

    Here’s one lit up before I opaqued the white. It looked cool with the white lit up but I bet it would have been illegal that way

    Hope she had a good flash bulb in that camera. Helps to wet the end of the bulb with your tongue before you put the bulb in the camera.

    I've tried to buy these original Lee lenses for many years, but my good friend wouldn't turn loose of them. The other day he gave them to me. I'm thrilled to add them to my Lee collection!

    Does anyone have the "directions" for the 56 Chevy lenses ? I am curious as to how they set them up to still access the fuel filler?

    the ones that I have seen the latch is disabled and you just push it open and closed. There is enough friction that it stays shut when you shut it
