Time and patience, looking good.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Been working on the 33 ..what do you all think about the head lights...too small?? Do they fit the car suppose to be 1935??? Head lights but not for sure 

     Made the left side of the 'V" bar on bottom of the grille shell......was  broken and rusted out......was a tedious job to get all the reveal lines  to show up correctly.......getting tired of  body work  but still have 2 more projects  that require work

I got similar size head lights on my 35, am using the guide B3 type with signal on top.  Been on there since 1970.  Beauty is that 7" sealed beams fit right in.

Stock 33 lights have a whole lot more size to them.  I have looked at the larger stock lights many times but never felt the urge to dig into wallet and buy them

MIKE...  That's what I liked about the  35 headlights...able to use the  7 inch seal beam...yours  look  like  the same  that I have so that being said it must be a  1935  head light....gonna have a mish mash of parts on this  car   33-34- and  35 chevy items


I have a spare set of head light bars if any one is looking for  a pair  for  '33 Chevy Master

Ed,
I think they look fine.  Being able to use the sealed beams is a plus.  A mish mash of parts is what makes it yours.

I like 'em, FATnLOW, you don't want them to be overbearing.

Didn't want to spend money on running board mats...came up with this idea I had to try first.......this  is first coat of this bed liner product.. the next coat should level everything out and    blend the   first coat and conceal the  divots...was  worth the try for the money spent on the product

   Going to have enough of this product  left over I might   do the under side of  the front fenders .... just a thought
