L88 Buckets
Has anyone finished their L88 Buckets for their headlight assemblies that was posted via the cad file a couple months ago? Anyone got any pictures of their finished buckets installed? How was the fit? Thanks

They fit good,i had to modify the mounting points on them a bit compared to the cad drawings i guess because mines a 73 and not a 68-72 but theyll work for the summer and ill make another set this winter.But either way if you make a set up make a cardboard template first to make sure they fit then go from there.Between matt(scooter) and nick ,i was able to make mine up.Right now i really dont have the time to make another set trying to get the car final buffed out and interior back in for summer.And i really need the covers to mount the buckets to make sure there centered right.

I had a pair made up from the CAD drawing. (I also had access to a pair of originals so the prople who made it up had them to compare to...) That said, they're still sitting in my garage because I don't want to remove my old lights and be without any headlights until I get everything else that I need to finish the job.
