Len Woodruff Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Like in the picture. I would prefer turned aluminum if someone knows of a source. 32 Ford Highboy Edited February 29, 2008 by Len Woodruff
Paul Payne Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Monogam's Green Hornet has round tail lights. I sanded down the thickness and used dark red paint for the lenses (they are all chrome). You could use a small Lucas type lense painted red for the rounded lense.
mikelo Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 The R/M Willys kit has some that look like that but they are not aluminum. I can't remember, the Henry J kit has smaller ones, I think. But once again, they are not aluminum.
Lyle Willits Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 As Ken said,these are from the AMT '34 Ford 5-window coupe street rod kit.They are chromed and you have to paint the"lense"portion with Tamiya Clear Red.
Len Woodruff Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks to everyone for their help. I will look through my kits tonight to see if I have these.
samdiego Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) I've had good luck making those from aluminum tubing. I work the end before I cut the length by chucking it into a drill, rounding the edges over with a sanding stick and then polishing. Now, cut about 1/16in and sand the cut to even things out and repeat for the other. My "junkyard" is huge and I've been able to find suitable lenses for mine, but you could also paintfill them using foil for the backs. Come on, try it! Edited February 29, 2008 by samdiego
