I am using 41 Ford tail lights and have some nice ones and have these ratty looking frames for mock up.
Plan on fitting them then will put the good ones on,also took a photo of the Hot Rod which I licenced today for the summer. So all is well.

56 Chev up and running!
Well Finally got the Chev together. Wow does it handle nice,flat on the corners. before it was like a boat,now it is like a speed boat! Drives nice and straight with the new urethane bushings and the front and rear sway bars help the handling and corners.
Next the truck project. Just finished the gas tank filler. I used a piece of pipe and turned it down from 1 3/4 to 1 1/2 with a lip on the ends to lock in the flex gas hose. I used a hole saw and made a 1 1/2 in hole in the box sub frame to pass the filler pipe through then welded it in to ensure structural integrity for the box and floor.
I have seen many gas tanks in the back with the filler in the bed floor and can't understand why? anyway I have a 3 degree slope and a 1/2 inch vent so do not expect any problems and am using a 47 Ford car filler door and neck.
