Re: 1958 Saab story
I cut the ends off the bumper support braces that go to the ends of the bumper and slid them inside frame to secure the front bumper.

Re: 1958 Saab story
So, after cutting the outer skin off the fuel door, I had to make a reinforcement brace from the articulating arm to the edge of the lid to make clearance for the light. I repurposed the metal skin from the fuel door and triangulated a rigid support as best I could and then cut away the webbing and put a few more tack welds on it.

Re: 1958 Saab story
Here's the light just set in the hole so I could post pictures, but you get the idea. It turned out pretty nice, I think.

Re: 1958 Saab story
I cut out and mounted all the tail lights. I still have to wire them up, but I was anxious to see what they look like.
