Mike. Package is on its way. Should be to you by Friday. I sent you a PM. Thanks
What item are you asking about? There are several things going on here.
Dang Zymurgy great job, when I first saw the thread I only noticed the first page dint realize there was 24. That is a lot of reading to catch up, great journey. I starter reading because I have a broken tail light on my 65 newport.
Thanks, sorry no lenses for your Newport. If you ever need clips for the upper trim that's about all I've made so far.

hey this is Z's first try , and he wants it better . what a craftsmen , he is smoothing out my lens for better castings , my hats off to him . if anyone needs a lens , here is the man for the job . he will be going my lens .
Might be a few interested in 65 Monaco lenses also.
I think I have finally achieved the outcome I have been looking for. If there is a flaw in the lens which 1500 grit paper won't take out I can't buff the urethane resin to a mirror finish. I decided to clear the lens and then cut and buff and got a great result.
The first detail picture shows the scratches and the last the cleared lens buffed to a near perfect reflection of my hand.
Now I have made more work for myself, because I don't trust the longevity of the clear coat, so now I will make a 2nd mold of a near perfect lens, to reproduction.

Ever the perfectionist.
I have been wanting to try clear coating a lens and this was a nice size to experiment on, was very happy it worked.
