The lost trim?

So finally got my fender with the impala light from paint late friday night and worked till about 2 am installing it for Mooneyes... Sat morning we headed out and about 2 blocks down I lose the ring sround the tip of the impala light.. My buddy picked it up and with a little bit of super glue the problem is fixed.. Now onto the impala light gasket which kept slipping out from behind the light... Yesterday I ordered the original gaskets from Chevy Parts and hopefully this will take care of the problem.. To make matters a bit more fun I lost the brand new $40.00 deluxe trim I had put on. Hit a bump on the freeway and I guess with the flex it just snapped in half. Also scratched and chipped the bottom of the fender.. Good Times... Well just picked up an old knuckle rear metal trim for the bike which actually looks much better... Will send pics at end of the week with all the fixes.. One thing I have learned over the years is you can't try to be the first to do something without finding out all the problems first... Looks a lil plain without trim but you can get the idea of what I'm doing... It was a pain in the *** but coming out good I think..

Check it out.

I like it. Looks like it's bright as hell. Post a close up of that lens when you take the pics.

Sucks to be a pioneer huh?

It's a 65 impala light. Running led panel inside and it's bright as hell when it goes on. I have the original 65 lens but it was pretty pitted so got the one you see online. Hardest parts is the 65 impala light is actually angeled. We had to shave the mounting trim by hand till it looked straight on the fender.
