Looks much better with the trim installed! The red windows sure do go with the olde gasser theme! Very nicely thought out and carried out, Steve!

Killer work as always, Steve. Great job on the headers!
Cheers Dave, I just noticed the windows do actually look Red in the pics although they are actually Orange.
Thanks mate.
Steve nice touch, again attention to detail is a quality we love with your threads!
So Steve,
How did you make the trim pieces that look like inset channels? PS - the windows look dark amber/orange on my screen, just like the 60's!
Looking better and better, Steve. Nice work!
Don't you and Sue have a plane to catch or something? :D
(Your headlights haven't shown up yet, BTW)
Don
They said it would take 6 days to get to you Don, I ordered them on Tuesday, Sue has started packing already :LOL:
Well obviously no progress as I'm still in the states but thanks to Don I got my headlights, taillights and door handles from Willys Replecement Parts.
The quality is perfect although they were a little spendy :rolleyes:
They will finish the car off great though so worth it in the long run, I will post some pics when I get back to blighty next week.
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou to my dear friend Don, thanks bud
The pleasure was all ours, Steve. It was one of the most fun weekends we have had for a while. That cider you drink isn't all that bad, but it's really hard to keep up with you Brits when you party. :D
Hope you and Sue have a safe, comfortable flight home. :)
Don
Well after getting over the jetlag i found a couple of hours today so decided to get my headlights/taillights fitted to give the car a face !!!
First job was to cutout the supplied template to find it wasn't as close as it first appeared to be
Any way i used it in the end but moved some of the holes around.

Next the bowl/reflector was trial fitted, these fit from behind so the back side of the GRP was sanded smooth for a good fit.

Then the outside bezel/glass was fitted, really makes the car look different and gives it a face.

Next i turned to the rear end, A quick phone call to my mate Wayne gave me the dimensions of where they should fit and holes were drilled.

While i was working at the rear i thought i would fit the battery cutoff switch, I went with one with alternator protection from Moroso.
