Got lucky at the swapmeet and picked up a pair of Impala rear light bezels that i've been looking for over the last 12 months (thanks 58delray)
I've fitted them with dual 59 Caddy tail lights, should look cool lit up on the rear panel
Took them to the chromer next day and he said he could return them to show quality despite them being quite pitted
First job was to drill out the old bases.

Next job was to remove all the sticky out bits.



Next some simple brackets were made up after shortening the stud posts the thickness of the bracket material.


The lights now fit in the bezels nice and snug and nice and deep



Was playing with colours a couple of days ago, I was looking for a burnt Copper flake, anyway i came up with this colour so tried it on my Caddy valve covers (I chromed them first) as a test.
What do ya reckon ???
media blasted

Epoxy primed

Painted

Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.
