JW- The car looks spectacular....and the turn signals look natural. When you reference damaging the reflectors am I correct in assuming that you opted not to convert headlights to sealed beams?
My car was painted yellow by a prior owner but it appears that the original color was the dark gray offering from 1939.( discovered under original door weather stripping). The interior was reupholstered to coordinate with the yellow and would not look good with the dark gray .I did not like the look of the yellow and was cursing the cost of having to replace the interior. Your car has given me reason to rethink the color choice. Again...thanks for the input. RJR

ewrecks, perhaps JW was referring to the type of construction where the parking light bulb was a lower candlepower bulb mounted to the reflector within a non-sealed beam headlamp. See the picture below for an example; that particular lamp is for an 1001 w/o fender lamps but similar construction was not uncommon prior to the introduction of sealed beams.

Yes, retained the original headlights - with separate lenses bulbs and reflectors - with smaller bulb parking lights inside the bucket. JWL
