How in the world did hot rodders make it before the internet??? LOL!

Should we welcome you or just commiserate??

Well I ordered mine today from a place in NC. They are going to drop ship it from Gennie. Hopefully it will mount up without any problems.

After I looked at pictures of "a30coupe's" car before he got the headlightbar and used single mounts for each light, I might have went that route. It sure would have been cheaper...LOL!

The nice part about headlight bars - they tie early Ford floppy front fenders, especially 'glass versions, together into a nice solid single unit. The fender brace, is then bolted thru the fender to the bar. Some folks don't bolt the outer part of the brace to the fender though.

Well you have convinced me asbout the H4 headlights and the LEDs from Boxstr are nice but I am still flirting with the bumper style turn signals. The kit is too expensive but I bought the flat mounting plates separately and found that side marker LEDs just fit the A bumpers. The only problem here is hiding the wire.

I may still end up with the LED in the bucket but I have looked at one on another Shay-29 and you really could not see them with the headlights on. Still that Orange PU is one fine car!
