    On my 63, the reflectors were fairly small (maybe 1.25" diameter) and mounted in rubber retainers. I got the reflectors in a bunch of parts from the original owner, but I had to make the rubber retainers out of some brake wheel cylinder rubber boots.

    For the miltary size reflectors (about 2.25") that mount with a stud, they are available from RN ($$$ Genuine). I got mine from rovahfarm for $7 each. They are p/n 551595.

            ^^Those look like the large reflectors. The originals on the 63 that I restored were much smaller, like this:

                      I am close to being done. My pics and posts are definately not a true time line of the steps complete,although I did start on Jan. 25 this winter.Next tuesday will be 4 months.As many of you know there is more than a few long evenings that have taken place over the last few months.Looking forward to driving it this summer.

                          Unfortunately not. Most of the work was completed in the early 90's. "Ivarra" here on the forums now has it and he has performed a few upgrades.

                            Drove my truck out of the shop tonight under its own power. Was dying for a test drive. Have a few leaks to contend with but it ran great. I'll get the wings and the bonnet on as soon as I have them sorted.

                                That's because Sean finally got it back together and realized he forgot to do the clutch....
