You get two pieces of moulded lexan (or whatever the material is) for the $295
The original covers where screwed straight into the bodywork........I made the two front posts and the rear bracket for the pzus fasteners as I didn't want to damage the bodywork.....also I trimmed the covers down a little to look a little more "contoured".
Just a note...make sure you use a sharp drill bit and not in a cold garage when drilling holes in them.

What headlights do you have in there? And where did you get the headlight cups and rings? Did you have to figure out how to mount them yourself, or was there a place on the buckets to attach them and how?
Thanks

The headligths are 53/4" crystal clear halogen conversions. The buckets are the regular buckest from a 69, and the stock mouting rings. I had to make up some space posts (threaded) so i can adjust them for direction.

I too would like to have a set. So if you guys are going to produce those covers, put me in line to buy a set. Of course nothing is free, so I am willing to pay a resonable amount for them. I too can fabricate the buckets. It is the covers that will have to be made on a mold. I still would be interested in buying all of the parts though.
