On Shelby parts anyone tried those cool looking Shelby headlights with the "star" the three point piece on them? I saw a Shelby last weekend and those headlights were so cool. Found a pic: I do not know size or compatibilty just asking what ya'll thought (size it says 7" )

I run a very cheap set of tri-Y headlights, about $50 bucks, though you can spend a lot more on decent ones. Plug n play. Mine are more for looks than function, but my headlights have never been great in the first place. I need to replace the buckets.

Looks like they are replicas of the Lucas P700 / PL700 headlamps. They should be plug and play. There seem to be several sources, like:

Like any replica, your mileage may vary depending on source.

I have no experience with them. I recently upgraded to brighter Wagner halogen sealed beams that do the trick for me.

On the wheels, I'd go w/ the polished spokes. However, I do like how Mark painted the recessed areas black.

It looks like just the tops of the spokes are pollished, is that right, or is th whole spoke pollished?

Full polished, I think Bob had a local guy do them. Wipe clean with a towel. Only downside is there's alot of open space, so be sure the calipers, drums and rotors are finished nice..
Once you have the size, as Sid said, there are possibilities, like a Crager cap, mill off the logo and use a Datsun emblem.

Dammit, I just looked at Mark's wheels, that does look nice...
