Thanks everyone.
Here is what I have right now from August 3rd.  I have started more work up front so currently, the front end is not fully intact.

Thanks.  Those are not BMW headlights.  I hope to have it at Ford Carlisle so you all can see it up close.

Sorry, they are not for sale.  They are one of the reasons I initially started looking for front lighting alternatives.  They are in such good shape, I didn't want to use them!  I just want to put them safely away.

I bought the ones on my LS in '95 from Autozone and they are still available from Autozone.  I just bought about 3 or 4 smoke pairs and 3 or 4 clear pairs from them about 6 months ago.

His lights are almost all custom made. He did months of research to get those to the way that you see them. I saw his initial prototypes, and theyve come a long way.
