I used a pair of nos Pathfinder sealed beam tractor lights. I'll get more pics as soon as I can for you. I fabricated a couple brackets for them out of 1/8" flat stock mounted to existing holes in frame. Had to paint them red of course 😊

That thing looks ridiculously sweet! You did a great job! :handgestures-thumbupright: 

 

Also, where did you get those headlights?

I got them from an old farm feed and machinery store in town a few years ago. They closed up after over a 100 years in business.

Don't you hate to see businesses like that go under? 

 

I'm looking for a set of lights like that. They have a vintage look to them. Want to put some on a panzer I'm working on right now.

Yes, it is sad to see old stores that helped build a town close down. Progress is what some say, I say it's the end of a great era when people knew each other in town and were civil to each other with common goals. Nothing like a walk down Main St. and being able to chat with anybody in a friendly manner. Try eBay maybe for some vintage lights, I see them on there too. These were actually in original box on shelf from the 60's. Hard to believe they sat on shelf that long in store. I loved going in and just chatting with the older gentleman and hearing stories about the history of town. A rail line used to run right in back of store during the steam era, tracks are still there.
