I thought the same thing. I don't have any tail light lens so maybe graft something like the chevy in


Today I took the body off again to trim off the rest of the unnecessary sheet metal and cut out the inner rear wheel wells so that the tires would fit. Also notched the ends of the frame rails to match the body shape and provide needed tire clearance. Finished off the day by grinding off a ton of undercoating. What a mess!

My hubcaps from Summit/United Pacific came in yesterday. They are chrome plastic with an outer white edge for the white wall tire look. Made in Taiwan...but designed in Germany! Good quality/good price and they won't rust.

The tires fit the wheel opening very well and I am very happy with the body drop aesthetics.
