    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!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    I had a lump of 1/4" aluminium plate so I cut them out of that and radiused the edges and then drilled and tapped the backside to take 4 x 3/16" grub screws, then just epoxy primed and painted them with 2k satin black.

    Thanks Lynn, it just seems to me to be slowing up, I've been doing all those little bits that don't seem like decent progress.

    Don't you and Sue have a plane to catch or something?

    (Your headlights haven't shown up yet, BTW)

    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
    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
