It definitely still needs paint as now it attracts the "strangest" people to pose in front of the Karma Kameleon. But you can see one of the horngrill-less Day Mouldings fenders. To the left is a 67, so upright lenses match the lucas perfectly. And to the right is an aged post 66, with color coded horngrills.
To you to decide which you like best.

It's a matter personal preference, of course. You can leave or shave the grilles and/or turn indicators. Any way you go, it'll look good.

This is my '61 in '77. If i remember correctly, I drew a line from the headlight screw to the corner of the fender, then centered the light between. When I later added Euro bumpers the lights were a little too low, so bumpers or Tee bars should be considered too.
When I do my '66, I will use the headlight screw and the top of the bumper bracket to mount them a little higher and further outboard.

If you're doing custom metalwork, then lose the horn grilles. With the grilles in place you'll not notice the metalwork as much. |
