American Classic Parts lists the headlight pans under part # HLBR60C, and offer a kit with all four bulb housings and retainer rings under part # HLMK58C. They also carry the adjusting screws, etc:

Holly molly almost $200 for the complete set up. Messed up I should have waited for a complete grill with headlight I've seen them for $100 with grill. I'm in trouble.

It's nice the reproduction stuff is available, but it can certainly get expensive in a hurry. Back in the 70's I paid less money for entire rust free original owner cars than what those headlight parts go for!

thanks dude for the heads up... not really sure about those earlier grills.
i do like the dual headlights much better.

scored another "60" grill for my current project.
question??? has anybody tried the spray-on type of chrome plating thats out there? i'm curious about quality and cost differences.[/QUOTE]



I sure would be interested in the same process I started to buy the stuff and try it on some smaller parts but have not pulled the trigger on it yet....
