Jamie,

Got mine a few weeks back. Awesome work, excellent quality. Put me on the list for whatever other parts you want to manufacture. :D

Spent a marathon night after work until 1:30 getting the next batch done. Had to make a new fixture for the final outside cuts that would hold it better. If anyone reads this and wants one I have them in stock now.

Hey Jamie,
was it ever determined if these will fit on "slicks"? I have a friend with a 66 that I would buy one for if I knew it fit.

Jamie,

Should have done this awhile back, just too busy with life's little things....

Finally got the bezel mounted this past week. Little did I realize that the one I was removing was a plastic piece-of-crap!

I just put a regular bulb in for now till I can get the LED, (thanks Paul).

WOW! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Don't know why anyone would not invest into one of these awesome, professionally made bezels!

I just got mine in the mail today! It looks awesome! If you don't have one already you should get one. You don't realize how big a piece of crap the old ones are until you see the new ones. Worth every penny! Thanks Jamie!! :thup:
