    Steve it was good seeing you in person. I'm tired right now will gather up my thoughts tomorrow.

  3. The hinges are missing the bracket part, did you get those also? The handle in a curved "T" is rumble seat and the other is correct for a trunk. The short side goes toward the bottom, long side up. The tail light bucket and license plate bracket is also correct

    I knew that you would have the answer. Now I need to find the missing tail light parts.

    does this tail light only need the glass lenses or does the red lens need a metal band to secure it.

  10. Just a red lens for the stop. Its a bear to get in without chipping the edges but just takes a little practice and patients. That spring steel piece pushes out the lens. A white lens goes on top to light up the license plate, there's two small screws and brackets to hold that in.

  12. I tried early Chevy and VW rims but neither fit very well. I final bought a set of repro glass lenses and made my own rims from 1/4" aluminum with a jig saw, router to roll the edges, and polisher. I also made the headlight bucket by breaking the front out of a standard sealed beam and making a male mold of the parabola. I then laid up fiberglass buckets off that mold and had them chrome plated. Work pretty well! That green blob is the Willys headlight bucket mold propping up the fiberglass mold for my Mysterion clone.

    Yes it is. But with a blown 350. The other Willys is Bill Fittings that will be back out on the road in a few months.

    I'm not positive but this might be at Indy, 1995.
