Because we are trying to use as much as possible of the original parts for this car or at least original 69 parts and not reproduction I took some original 69 front running lights and spent many an hour restoring them correctly instead of repops which are close but not close enough. They required a fair bit of effort but I think it paid off. Fortunately I was able to Simple Green the gaskets and reuse them as the repops are again not even close. Through research and help from Phil I determined that the Yenko/COPOs would have the stainless trim around the lens so I located a pair and polished them. The lenses were then restored after many hours of hand buffing and repainted exactly as the originals including the overspray.
