He has these under general parts section. I found out on FaceBook

They would have saved me hundreds of hours work and I probably spent this much trying to fix what I had.

I look forward to some feedback on the quality/fit of these pieces.

I can use a pair for sure.

I was wondering if they could be used to "convert" a late model ghia to a lowlight setup until I looked at the pics. They can!! I had this in mind for my car. That is too cool.

I have an original lowlight well at least 80 percent of it, I need the front end someone put a later model front end, I wonder if this is what I need, they did a very good job of installing the front end but they went to a 73 front end. I couldn't find a lowlight front for the right price so I restored it like that for now...

You can also get low light vent openings from Wolf and change your car back using these headlights and Wolfs vents

Is that wolfsburg west you are talking about having the pieces for the vents? I looked online and didn't see them.

Danny Gabbard on here was looking to make and sell lowlight headlight sections so you could check with him

The ad in the 1st post at the top is still active, shows he has headlight metal and vents.

I mailed Sam about headlightsections and freshairvemts last week.
They are out of stock at the moment, but I'm on the waitinglist :D

Those are freaking cool. If I wasn't a pureist, I'd jump on those to convert my 63 to a lowlight. Then again, I'd feel like a woman who wanted a Prada purse but instead got a Prado

See I don't know what that means .... :)

Why not use original sheet metal? While NOS metal isn't available there I've seen postings from parts cars. Probably much less overhead to float out any metal damage and end up with something closer to stock.

I had a '57 and stashed a some what dented nose for parts. It's still in the shop. I'm sure there are others in the classifieds.
