Going to repaint the whole car or just the repaired area?
nice looks like you chose the right guy to fix it
The guy is doing a great job for sure ,
We are going to paint the front clip for sure , i really dont want to paint the whole car , but i am going to have further talks with the body guy.
I enjoy not having to worry to much about nicks , rock chips etc.
I would have kept it all original but hitting the truck did not figure into my original plans...

Did the truck guys insurance pay for it?

Wow, That's coming along nicely.
Did you end up making a mold the of the whole front end?
No. We used a front clip they had a rossion.

Need to get headlight buckets. Cant find them on the parts list. Thanks

Parts list was for items they bought from other places. (I think) They made these. So even if there was a parts list number, only place to get them is Rossian. You ask them if they have any? Or is it container diving time?

For clarity:
Headlight Bracket: Thing that holds the bucket to the car.
Headlight Bucket: The actual bucket that the headlight sits into. ( Bolts to the bracket. Also used to aim the lights )
Trim ring: the ring that holds the bulb into the bucket.
Headlight surround: Fiberglass thing that covers the gap between the car and the headlights ( only the series one cars have these )
I'm guessing that the bracket is different between the series 1 and 2 cars...
Andy, Do you need the bracket or the bucket or both?
The aluminum brackets are custom but look pretty simple to recreate.
The parts list says something like st161,st162,st171,st172 for the assemblies, but I'd guess that was a part number from a supplier that includes the bucket and trim ring.
The actual buckets should be the same as any car that had the h4701 / h4703 sealed beams ( like the 89ish suburban ). I'll see if I can confirm that tomorrow.
There was a crate of headlights in one of the storage containers and the lights had the buckets/ trim rings with them. Not to be confused with the headlight surround.
These are the buckets i am referring to, i dont think they are Consilier specific
And here she is in primer.

OH, was thinking you were talking about the fiberglass that went behind them.
Series 2 the same as series 1? (headlights)

yep, looks just like the suburban bucket from this site:

We ordered them but I think they will be too big.
