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!

Back side welded



This is how Brian filled in the gaps





Next he trimmed it and welded it solid



Brian isn't finished yet but after grinding it will look like something like this.

Good idea on recessing the tail lights!

The flares are to small on the early Mustangs so Brian is going to make a little larger flare.

The first thing is to mark where he is going to make his cut and start cutting.





He left it attached at the bottom and brought it out 1 1/4" at the top.



Next he made a pattern out of poster board and taped it on.





Next he transferred the pattern to metal and had to make it in sections to get the shape he wanted and started tacking in place



He will keep added sections until it is all filled in
