    Great build! Did you go with a mechanical set up for the clutch, or did you use hydraulic?

    I'm running the same tail lights on my 33 Ford since, 1. they were on my car when I found it and I'd like to keep some of the originality and 2. because I like them. Believe these were only found on the 51' and 52' Buicks. I have a few pair of the plastic lenses saved up in case I ever need them and one pair that has the "blue dot" nipples on the ends of the breasts.....Hey, that's what these tail lights look like to me! One of my best finds at a car show within the last couple years was a set of these lenses made of glass.

    I sent my bezels out to a guy in Minnesota to have the potmetal restored/rechromed. Turned out very nice, cost was $300.00 I believe.

    Keep up the good work.
