Dave, Your engine is centered, correct?? Are you using a two peice driveshaft??
Here is the real question, LOL. Will you be mounting the carrier centered also or do you put both shafts in direct line from the tailshaft to the pinion???

Garbz: Love this mod - and had been thinking of trying something like this on my '63. Did you use pieces from a donor grille or just cut out the light support area & hammer & dolly the edges? Thanks!

I used the bars from a donor grill. and TIG welded it all together. I made up the radius's with additional 16 ga CRS blended in. I think they really spruce up the 63 grill. You can also add an upper valance from a 65 66 in lieu of the headlamp signals.
It has been sitting out in the back yard for almost two years now getting the correct patina.
I was out in the garage today working on the uni. I am thinking of having it read to bring to SS.

Honestly I've never cared for any of the stock turn signal options. I saw a pic of a guy with an early upper valence and a 65 grille who used the Lucas-style lights you described and I really liked the clean, no turn-signal lamp look. The way you've done it looks sweet - great idea & excellent execution!
What's CRS?
I use that to mean "Can't Remember $&^#" LOL.
