Reproduction 1930 model A Ford.
Love the light brackets too. How are they made? Box section tube with rounded ends? How did you form the ends Mike?
formed the ends the hard way,,  piece of stainless exhaust pipe split and welded over the cut and shaped end,, the hardest bit was recessing the ,offset bulb holders that protrude out of the back of the lamp body,, |

Yeah but you've made more progress in the last couple of weeks than most of us do in 6 months Mike.
Don't get disheartened when you get one small setback. Rest up for a couple of days & come back to it with a fresh mind.
