So are you going to drive this in the fog?????????

Don,
Thanks for the comment, and I did look at evilBay but wasn't seeing anything that wasn't going to require a bunch of work. I do understand the scale factor, and don't disagree with your thoughts but I'm kinda in a run what I've got mode. Got this one in hand, so keep messing with it or just abandon the idea.

I went back out this morning and as I looked at it I thought about Ryan's suggestion of maybe running it from the frame rail instead of the spreader bar, and the more I looked at it the more I decided it was the bracket on the bar that I really didn't like so much so I started looking at it again. Already had a 3/8" hole in the frame, just in front of the headlight stanchion, which I had planned to weld closed so I decided to try it. I added some plate to the bottom, biasing to one side and filled the gap with weld to let me angle the mount surface and try to keep the bracket more level. Here's the new finished product, and I like it better than before. Thanks for the comment/idea/approach Ryan/40FordDeluxe!

Ray not sure if you don't like the size of the '34 Commercial headlights, the ~5" fog light, or both? Which is the "guy thing"? No big deal, but I'm dense.

Ya' just never know, Jerry, ya' just never know. But if I DO see a fog bank ahead I'll be a bit better prepared, besides running a look that I've come to like.

Like before, I'll look at it for a while and decide if it stays or goes. For now, it is what it is, and I'm movin' on to other things.
