Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan

Tacked the mounting plate I'd removed and cleaned up to the back of the ring I made and test fit it into the hole. Turned out that a 2" recess wasn't quite enough. The headlight protruded thru the ring a bit too much, plus the back of the ring was almost touching the adjustment screws. If I left it as it was, the trim ring could interfere with the hardware. So I decided to add a 3/8" strip to the ring which made it fit just right.
