Just need to get the new wiring installed and fix a couple of brake & panel alignment issues. Here is the way it looks today. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t72/jss1956/DSCN1533.jpgAnd after all this work I've only got one part left over. I can't identify these and don't know where they go. I know I'm gonna kick myself when someone identifies 'em. I was thinking headlights but I must be missing something. But what are these and where do they go? http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t72/jss1956/DSCN1558.jpgThanks

Only my headlight buckets don't have these tabs that hold this part. I purchased the buckets used as the old ones were shot/rusted. It looks like the buckets I have may not be for a '47-'53 or the tabs have been broken off.
More investigation to follow...
