How did you french the headlights? My friend is telling me just to weld my buckets in and then smooth out. I think I should wrap some tin around the headlights so I can get them back in and out without a problem. I'd really like to tunnel them in my 53 but my friend says they look tunneled enough just by welding the bezels to the fenders.
I found the running Buick for USD$1500. Then I found an entire front clip in Nebraska for $500. Then I traded the extra grill, headlights, fenders for welding to cut out the cancer. I still have a lot of extra metal on the side of the house, including the portholes. So far, I have about $2200 invested into it. I am selling the dog dish caps and looking for caddy rims since I have 58 Caddy hubcaps. There are more pcitrues of teh work so far on my Myspace: customcruiserroy. If you can't find it, email me at customcruiserroy@yahoo.com and I'll get you a link.
Have a great day!!

Thanks. I will follow your advice as well as my friend's advice. I will just need to figure out to configure the headlight so that I can get to the bulb as well as adjust them. Thanks!!
By the way, I found your car througha car club in Minnesota. I am in Colorado. I used to live in Los Angeles, California until recently. I have owned a 1964 Falcon, a 1941 Chevy Business Coupe, a 1958 Cadillac, a 1966 El Camino, a 1958 Ford Ranchero, a 1953 Chevy Business Coupe 150, a 1974 2 door Lincoln Mark IV. I still owna 1960 falcon in San Diego, California, but I actually bought that for my step son but he didn't pay me for it so it's mine again whenevere I have the urge to drive back to California. There is a picture of it in my Myspace thing.
Have a great day!!
