Hi Whitey, Years ago I had several pyle national headlights done in 3/4" scale in lost wax. I sold a lot of them here on Chaski, and I still have several left.. They do require a little machining though (or maybe filing, to fit the side markers..). The cost is $55.00 including shipping..
Let me know if you're interested..
John

Here's a pic of the headlight.. Note that the "hinge" will need to be filed/milled off of one side of the side markers, along with fitting the hinges to the main body.

I also ordered and received one of John's headlight castings, and as in the past with other dealings, am very happy with quality of the casting.

Got my order of headlights too. They are definitely a top quality job by John.
