                                  (will mod. this post As time allows)

 In my build are the lights,I'd like to post updates here as I go about this ,cutting,grinding, filing,double checking,resin and glass mix/add on strength.
                                                             Depending how far back you can go will determane how much to cut(i grinded) to set back farther in cowl
     Pic  underside in cowl pretty dark but theres some stk.reinforced plastic there that needs saving,(bumper also)so going right above that and were the metal band will be tied in.Bolting to toolbox I only had to grind flush the very bottom and about 1/2"up(everthing cleared,BUT light should be back further but box in way and I have to keep it.

                                  Lots more to come , question I'll try to answer ,

                                      previouse post: Well good thing I had an extra cowl cut to much on 1st,but will go back to.
...............................................................................................................................
                 In order for len to set right lic./tail light  braket/plate top has to be cut(just above the grab bar)
                   This(grab bar)is made pretty dang well,grind level to that plate after cutting with saw.

                                              NOW WIREING MATCH THEM UP

                           (I added cateye blinkers and tyed together with rear tail blinkers only)
RUNNING LIGHTS(had to make lil cat eyes blinkers only)GOT WAY TO HOT,(after pic is wrong)need side markers now.
                                           was not as easy I thought out,BUT
                                                         BRAKES

                                                        BLINKER

                                                      I'M HAPPY
           more to come with molding glass N possibly side marker(if can take the load)
