I'm hoping to have the car on the road before its 50 anniversary.

Just finished refurbishing my front turn signal housings.
I sand blasted, primer and painted the entire thing enamel gloss black.
I made the bulb holders for the euro conversion from aluminum flashing.
The inside silver is SpazStix mirror finish. The backside is Rustoleum undercoating black.

I cobbled together four good housings and figured I'd convert them all in case I messed any up.

The plan is to attach the puck wires to the new leads, use clear lenses and bi-color led bulbs.
