We Customised these RARE Tail Lights to fit the '29 ROADSTER

- On this episode we take our Original 1939 Pontiac Silver Streak tail lights and adapt them to work naturally with the 1932 Ford frame horns and compliment the body. We create a simple bracket to eliminate the spreader bar flange bolts and almost give the appearance that the tail light is floating. We colour match the lights to simulate the bodies natural patina. For this build we didn't cut the rear frame horns that commonly done with A bodies and these tail lights mounted make them look as if they are suppose to be there. These are definitely the details we enjoy to create.

Nicely done ! Definitely the right way to go , much nicer than knocking holes in the back panel and mounting a pair of taillights. You have an amazing eye for design Jordan 👊🏻
Thanks 👍
Great job on the tail lights! I really like them Jordan! I've Never seen them on a hot rod before but they sure are a natural for it! Probably be seeing more now! :)
Thank you Jon! Happy with how they turned out
Very clean looking brackets Jordan, I guess the hard part now is to find indicators to compliment the Pontiac lights seeing we have to use amber lens down here.... I see your Dawn vise got a makeover recently it looks very old school. Cheers Greg
A believe clear lenses with amber bulbs work! I’m thinking something small forsure!
I was getting sick of the old primer look haha!
@@bennettscustomsco it will, maybe some type of small cowl light might work its a pity the pontiac lights are rare you could put clear glass in and mount them side by side
Nice plan and execution. Modification like that is a real art form.
Thank you 🙏🏽
I really like those tail lights, they look like they belong there and you won't see them elsewhere. Great job Jordan.
Thanks Joe!!
You nailed the taillamp and frame treatment!! Looks Killer!
Thank you kindly Dale!!
Nice work Jordan! I love the custom touch on the taillights!
Thanks Nic!
I’m building a 36 Pontiac on my channel. I love the taillights on theses 30’s Pontiac’s . Thanks for sharing

Wow that's awesome. Really likeing how this looks. It's coming along nicely so far. Can't wait to see more updates projects and videos soon guys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow the taillight look awesome. Respect to the way you do your magic. Take care.
Thank you Alan
Looking forward to you using your lathe, I recently acquired one and I'm in the process of learning how to properly use it
It will definitely be great to use, I tend to use a friends around the corner a lot but this will be much more convenient!
Boy! An almost excruciating attention to detail, but each one of those design choices worked. Captivating to watch. Thanks.
Thank you Julian!
Jordan, a lot of early trucks here , especially the English ones like Bedford and Austin trucks used Lucas round taillights with glass lenses. If you keep your eye out at swap meets, you might find something nobody in the States has ever seen.
My eyes will be peeled!! Thanks for the tip Glenn!
Thank you for another awesome video.
Thanks for watching!
I like the pinstriping on the dawn vice.
That was a 5 minute job I did with a marker 😂
Lol I really like pinstriping on the old hot rods, I still like it. 😳
It's all in the details! Dig it
(and that song; Too Dusty - Blood Red Sun WOW!!)
Turned out nice
Absolute artistry! Loved your thought process and execution! Go Bennetts Customs, keep moving forward!
Thanks a ton Murdoc. Means a great deal
Nicely done too 👍.
That looks really neat Jordan, another great video!!! Well done!
Cheers Paul!
Looks so good!.
Nice and simple but looks the part.
Great job!
That’s what I was thinking too!
omg... you say it's easy takes you a week of headaches to figure it out I know there's 10 things going on just to make it look just perfect .
Super clean looks like they could have been there OEM.
That was the goal ! Thanks Charles
ART
looks like it was always that way. Like the powder coat patina
A little new school cheat but the finish is awesome
Great job, really suit the car, hope to do similar on my roadster 👍
I like the keisers better standing up set along the body line on the sides
Kaisers always look nice but I’m after something a bit different.
Awesome!
Sweet!
Great job !!!
Supernice!
F yeah. Perfect.
Those hangouts on the back are way too long theyre sticking out like a bumper on a 1974 maverick
Real nice work Jordan How kind I got a set of those Keizer lights from your friend thanks
Great to hear John!
Tasty!
Nice Work. I'm behind on my Videos.

Thanks Dennis!
Love the Ponti lights, shame you didnt have some 39 Ford
and 59 Caddy lights to confuse the decision making process
further!
Happy I didn’t have those otherwise I would still by there scratching my head
Still have the Vega taillights which came with my '30 Model A coupe in 1986 if you need another option? I'll keep my Chevy '41s.
👍👍
Nice work 😎, how did you remove the trim on the housing?
I love your work, your insane designs, and they way you mothodicaly go through every step.
Your train of thought and your vision into how the project will turn out is mind blowing but there's a saying that is not used nearly as much as it should be these days because most people are just plain rude and aggressive.
Those of us who use this saying don't want to upset others by telling the truth as they see it. For example, your best friend has a new girlfriend, but she's an ugly fugly. He asks, "So what do you think guys?" Do you lie so as not to hurt his feelings or tell the truth that's she's the most ugly girl you've ever seen?
Most of us hate negative criticism, me included, so instead of telling a lie, this is what we say.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
For those of you who have not heard this saying before or have but don't really understand its meaning. It means that beauty does not exist on its own but is created by observers.
Sorry, but in my opinion, those lights don't look right on that particular car. Contrast wins hands down every time. Use the last rectangular set as contrast but vertically.
Just because your car is full of curves doesn't mean that everything needs to be curved. The lights are too much over the top. As they say, beauty in the eye of the beholder.
Always good to hear constructive criticism! And that’s a good saying to go by as well. For me these will stay for now! Thanks Boogie!
Another awesome vid mate. Can I ask, who’s the music by
Music should be in the description!
Hey Jordan your not an Aquarius by any chance? I like these lights I also like the Pontiacs. And the 32 fords that bolt to the frame. I still think a gas tank would of been nice but then your lights wouldn’t of worked at all. Take care Tim.
And having a second look do you think there going to get damaged with road rash. Could you make a removable shield for driving?
They should be okay where they sit, possibly rough rocks may chip but I’m. It too worried about that! I needed am an Aquarius!
I have to admit that I have never seen a 4 ounce light held on by two half inch bolts. What is the torque? 😂
Unsure my torque wrench doesn’t go that high!
Круто получается!
Well, that's nothing. I got my amp gauge and oil pressure gauge on my dash mounted in Tomato paste cans.
😁
And you got to make 🍕!
They just look like Chev ones from the same year.
Similar! But different
@@bennettscustomsco ya, just looking at bit harder at them, I noticed that those taillights have,what looks like a raised,chromed section on them.
Awesome!
