Hey guys, anyone know where I could find any of this material in flat stock? I’ve got an old Kustom that’s got hand made tail light openings that I’d love to use this material to fill in.

Great find! Where did you find it?

 

Now you need a dealer display that puts lights behind them all….

 

I was going through some of my little pages tonight and found this on the back of the front cover of an issue of CAR Speed and STYLE and it reminded me of this thread. I think I found a whole article on them in one of the issues. I'll keep looking!

No one is surprised... Lol!

 

I should have known...

 

Thanks for a great thread, Mark! And what a collection you have there. Wow.

I want to introduce you all to mister Marvin D. Jarnagin:



Marvin is the founder and man behind Lee Plastic Company (So if you thought there was a Mr. Lee, you were wrong....just like me)

Earlier this month, Beth Stewart reached out to me, telling me that her grandfather Marvin D. Jarnagin founded Lee Plastic Company in the 1950s. She could also tell me that her father, Bob worked for Marvin, his future father-in-law, when he was 17, fabricating lenses! Beth and Bob have been kind enough to share their photos and stories with us, providing a rare behind the scene look at this iconic Detroit, Michigan company! It's a great little story, so I recommend you all to check it out: https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Lee_Plastic_Company

I have also borrowed a few photos from this thread to the story. I hope that is ok with you guys.

Thanks.

 

Very kool @SuperFleye!

Thanks for posting that here.

 

My Chevy got these Lee style taillights, a huge improvement compared to the originals
