The older I get, the more inclined I am to shell out a few bucks for parts where someone else has already done the heavy lifting. As long as they're well designed, fill a need, move the project forward and are reasonably priced. But in this case, homemade was the best choice.

Thanks, John!
Before welding out the headlight buckets, I needed to figure out a way to attach the trim rings. Tried an angle tab with a drilled hole for a sheetmetal screw but ran out of threads before it tightened up. Switched to a J-nut but couldn't get the placement where I wanted. Ended up welding a nut on the angle tab and using a stainless oval head machine screw. Spot welded the tabs to the rings and then welded the buckets into the fenders. Then it was on to the bumpers.
