    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" ******s 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 gl***.

    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.
