Hard to find those fins for the lens w/o a broken stud or two.

Nah, the lens are the same exact size. Just looks smaller in pict. Yea I like the way it looks with no headlights too, actually looked for some headlights that were tinted black or smoked. Thinking it would kind of give it the same look?Jims65cyclone wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 11:36 amLookin' good, Lou! The lens with two refracting sections looks like its a good 3/4" shorter than the other lens. Are there two different housings, too?![]()
By the way, your sig pic with no headlights installed has a "wicked" (in a cool way) look to it.![]()

Not really into the leds, too modern for my car.poboyjo65 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 2:12 pmI'm surprized you didnt drill more holes to the sides of the original one & make them sequential & use leds ! they look great!
window frames look great too! kinda gives it a different look from other hardtops. I like how the divider bars between front & back glass disappear !![]()
Thanks Fred.
What steering gearbox and gear ratio did you use?
Wow, Lou! Not many guys with rear axels you can see your reflection in. And making sure both switches, LOCATED UNDER YOUR DASH, are black. That's a testament to your pride in workmanship and attention to detail.
Thanks Jim. I used a Flaming River steering box with 16:1 ratio. And I am having a lot of fun with the little details.Jims65cyclone wrote: ↑Sun Jan 05, 2025 9:48 pmIt all looks great, Lou!![]()

Wow the details of your rear Shut Off switch and the brake and clutch switch bracket are awesome! Thanks for posting the pictures as you go. You will inspire others to keep moving on their projects too!
Hey, Lou! Are you going to weld clips to the housing to snug up the rear line?
