    This is what I got , a pair of old but new in box Bosch german made taillights or
    50 pontiac copys , probably from china but easy to buy in case one get trashed.

    Dont know what tallights to use ? ,I think both lights are cool.

    Anyone with some ideas, maybe on some different lights......just dont say teardrop please.

    Either look good, but will the Bosch german lights be bright enough to see in daylight?

    You seriously have top notch fabrication skills. Looks great.

    I'd run the Bosches. Pretty cool that you found some still in their boxes. I love finds like that.

    Got the rear panel today , looks really really good.
    Shot the holes for taillights and reg-frame. It took 2 min.
    I finally decided to go with the Pontiac lights, they are extremly common on 32´s
    but I think I know why. They look good.

    NO DOUBT!

    TMF, do you happen to have a machine that will install a floor in a channeled deuce? That's way easier! Why didn't I think of that?:D

    Today I took a 1/4" sheet and made two hinge supports with treaded holes.
    Did the alu-thing just to get a tool to line them up square and to get the correct distance
    between them.

    Loaded both Hakans model-a frame and my frame in the truck last week, we
    delivered them to the no 1 painter Totte . When we were at his shop we manage
    to decide the color for my 32 and he will paint the frame rails with it :)

    Last Saturday was a day when I thought I am 20 years old instead of nearly 40 :(
    Been in bed since with a really big back pain and can't do shit. Totally worthless :(
