    Although I am far from completed (are we ever done?), I did get my headlight brackets fabricated, polished and installed which permitted me to go to a local car show last night. Everything seemed to function very well on the roadand it was an exciting time since it has been years since I have been able to go to the show with my car. Here are a few photos of the most recent photos. The three plastic amber lenses which came from a motorcycle running light set up were incorporated into the tube with the holders as seen below.
    The middle light is the running light and the upper and lower flanking it are the turn flashers.

    Those are very cool. I have been looking for some front turn signals but have not been able to track any down. Those would fit the bill.

    Fixit when posting pics put the address in the post image instead of in the link box. Image icon is over 2 symbols from link looks like a picture. Great progress
    What are the vents next to the support rods for? look good just wondering.

    I'm guessing those are turn signals.

    Never mind... just looked at the previous pix showing the signals on the headlight stands.

    Thanks for the help with the photo posting. It seems that each time I do this, I forget how to do it correctly. What were we talking about? LOL

    The small vents at the front are stainless steel louvered covers for the horns that are behind the dash.

    No more problems now with the pics, with your assistance that is..

    The horns are really good, completely rust resistant and LOUD too.

    Thanks,

    Here is a little modification that I made for comforts sake, as well as it looking pretty cool too. I have a B & M Starshifter and the shift handle was too low so I would have to lean down quite a bit in order to shift (especially to and from park). I disassembled the unit and made a new SS round lever handle, associated release lever, small parts and a walnut boot to use instead of the plastic one. Here are a few photos of the completed parts, as well as the unit all together in the car.

    Steve,

    I have to say this has to be one of the coolest builds I have seen. As I am VERY impatient, Im glad I came into this VERY late as it would have been driving me crazy waiting to see what the next cool addition would be to your build. I have just started my first build on a traditional T Bucket, but thats half due to the fact that I dont have any skill when it comes to body work (all mine is mechanical). That being said, VERY nice work, its always great to see something original and should really grab attention at cruise ins, not to mention a few trophies should you be shooting for showing it off... VERY nice man, Congrats!!!

    Chris
