Default lemans headlights

Where can I find the lemans style headlights for a C3 ? I'v had a 70 LS5 car sitting for a year now. It needs work but it dose have it's orig motor. The car dose nothing for me in it's stock form. So I'm thinking of making it into a road race L88 clone. The flares are easy to get but I have no idea where to get the headlights. I would trade or sell this car for a better car to do this to. But it seems like no one is into this year big block car. If I'm stuck with it I may as well make it into something I would like.

Make your own buckets like most of us here did (PM me for template/instructions).
Buy the covers for 225 + SH.
Sell your old pop-up lights to pay for them.

I just have to say, you guys are awesome. I have been on this site for almost 6 months now, I think, and I have made maybe...4 posts. I haven't had to comment or anything, or ask questions. Is there ANYTHING you guys don't know? Seriously, this is better than a chilton manual...Now that I have buttered you guys all up, can I get an email with the template for making my own buckets, and also, is aluminum good enough for it, or should I got with sheet metal of some sort? Thanks in advance.

I have a ZIP folder with some or all of the info you would need to make these. PM me your email address and I'll send what I have along to you.
