Brian did not like how the torque boxes fit in the rear so he fixed that.

I still wasn't happy with the fender aprons and we did a little bodywork on the firewall

Looks great and gave me some ideas for mine :-)

I never have liked the way Ford just stuck the taillights on the outside of the taillight panel and the owner agreed. He wanted to install 67 taillights but the taillight panel is to small so we are recessing the taillights. He ordered a set of billet bezels from Eddie Motorsports.

The first step was to get the taillights to fit the new taillight panel and trace around it.

Brian decided to make a new inner bracket out of thicker metal.

This was his first attempt but it was a little to small so he had to make another one out of an old seat riser.

Test fitting the taillight

His new bracket tack welded in place

The top piece is just to hold it in place and will be trimmed.

The next step will be to make the filler pieces

Nice idea its going to look great.

Brian cut out the other side and test fit the taillights

Nice job!! I like that as well, I think the Eddie's bezel's are too chunky looking. Maybe a better work os bulky looking? But with them recessed it takes care of that issue.

Looks great!
