It must be those subtle differences of body panels assembled on a jig then hand welded. as in the old days. Versus panels robotically assembled to lazer reverence points then robotically welded

These tail light and turn signal housings are fabricated. It didn't occur to me they could have hammer form and clam shell construction.

Here they are located in the body. I'm going for nearly flush to match the covered headlamps the E type had originally.

Thanks Dave, lately it's been a struggle. I really enjoy shaping but not the bending structure pieces. Kind words help a lot.

Mike, you said that the hammer form idea didn't occur to you until after they were made, so how did you form them? How many parts did you make them from?

Steve, the lights housings are made from 2pcs of 90* bent tubing which I cut to give the assembled length I wanted. Then I cut the inside of the bend out and added fitted flat pieces to provide a sort of trough. Then made the light socket recepticles

Mike, Great idea! Don't think I would have thought of doing it that way, but I like it.
