I think I still have a template. I will see if I can find it.

[Paulie]

That would be very welcome Glen, Thank you!!!!!

[Paulie]

Any luck finding it?

[David]

I just bought a set of Appleton templates and waiting for them to arrive. Should be here late this week/early next week. I’ll be happy to make a copy of the Ford one and get it to you if you haven’t ended up with one by then. 🙂

[Paulie]

That would be great thank you

[Paulie]

Thank you David for the templates.

 

Lense isn’t centered just tossed in there.

 

here is a tech tip. Use an old crappy collar from an Appleton spotlight, slightly oversized drill bit, some cutting fluid, drill STRAIGHT through the collar (or use a lathe), screw it together and you have an Appleton drill guide to install your spotlights with. It’ll take a 1/2″ and not hit the threads. Build the car yourself at 3am.

1950 Olds 98 inside of 52 rings in case you were wondering.

 

next installing the drivers side 552 (bracket 990) until I can find a 991 bracket the pass side will have to wait.

 

Then the 53 Merc bullets.

Great tech tip there! Thanks!

Is this officially a custom yet? How many points have I racked up on the 1956-57 show car circuit points manual? LoL

Yes Sir. Please just keep in mind when you look at her that I knocked this all out in 2 weeks

[Paulie]

Grille going in tomorrow.  Merc bullets are done. I’ll tighten up some fitting and body work this coming off season.
