Fabulous workmanship, as you guys always do. I am anxious to see the completed headlight modification. Really wondering why you wouldn’t have just perfected the clamshell system from the 1965 Riviera? They were the coolest hidden headlamps on any production car ever, provided 4 light illumination and was Bill Mitchell’s favorite aspect of his greatest design. I am also wondering if you have lengthened the console as the factory length puts the rear air vents blowing into the side of the front seats unless they are in the most forward position. It was a factory mistake that you can easily correct. I don’t intend to seem negative of your efforts because I truly believe you have no equals. Looking forward to the next update.

Headlights are interesting, I have a billet grill for a 65 that I am thinking about putting on my 63 still haven't figured out what to do with the headlights. My trunk is vacuum operated from the glove box. Can't wait to see you guys get it completed 👍👍👍
