Spent my tax refund on my Superbird!

[70Sbird]

Hello everyone,
As any of you that have seen my car can attest, My 'Bird is a driver and will eventually need to be repainted, I decided to start collecting the detail parts that will need to be replaced when (and if) that repaint ever happens!
This week I ordered the plastic lenses and some dash items (more on the dash project going South in another thread!).

I got my box from BE&A yesterday
All I can say is WOW!

I thought my old lenses and lights looked decent until I saw these.
I love new parts!
Especially exact copies that are probably better than the originals in 1970

Mike has done a great job with these and his customer service is second to none!

I bought a set from Mike for my wife's clone. They look great. Now all I need is a set of housings. Anyone?

WOW!!
Your parts look awsome! I need to order the same items. I have 2 sets of the front signal lenses (1 set from the car and 1 I picked up a long time ago before they were repopped)

I busted the rear marker lenses while trying to take them out, Man that 40 year old plastic just didnt want to flex.

The reverse lenses are clouded now that I see your new ones.

Actually, I think the original lenses are slightly cloudy from the factory on purpose, so as not to see the bulbs inside.    The repops almost look too crystal clear.

This is an NOS lens.   Look at the lettering through the lens compared to outside the lens.    The outer edge rim looks different too.

I am not picking on the repros.  They look very nice, and are available at a good price.

Doug to the rescue!

Looks like the one. Any chance you would have a set for sale? I have the Superbird brackets and the lenses, but no housings.

Dave,
Thanks for the warning although I already found a few errors there myself!
I've just been working on a dash project and had all those books our as reference material.
