Great ongoing restoration. Is it still possible to obtain original chrome headlight trims, or do they have to be built from scratch?. The Sun Tachometer is advanced for that vehicle year. Love the precise graphics. Great work by Ida Works among other contributors!

Frank- It’s really cool how even the headlight bezels were cut down and reshaped, so factory replacements won’t fit. If you look closely at the closeup of the grill, you may notice how that was cut and sectioned towards the bottom.
