Headlights for my Twenty Eight are done.

The headlights that came on my Twenty Eight were very sad, no lens, the housings were either unusable or incorrect, one lens ring was incorrect etc.  I was able to pick up a few of the correct housings and other parts and a few months ago decided to start working on the lights.  I think that they turned out pretty good. I was able to work the dents out good enough that no body filler was needed.  I did have to solder up a could of pin holes in a couple of housings.    .   There were more parts involved than I thought there were and getting the gaskets like I wanted them was a pain.   
Thanks
Ken

Neil, when these took me about three months between some other small projects, no requests. They were fun but maddening at the same time. The housings took a few attempts on the paint for me to be happy.

I'll bet it did Ken. They're probably better than factory now, knowing your quality of work : )
