Ford Blue Blood just did a few posts on what he did last week. Go to "project Builds", and look for his thread.it's about the second one down, on my computer, his headlight frenching is on page 19, close to the end.

draw around the 56 ring so you don't cut to far I cut the 4 bolt holes and bend them striate back and use L brackets to bolt to head light buckets I think it around 1 5/8  bracket I use the rest is just cut like a pie and bent to clear the ring also mark the holes to screw the ring on so you don't cut on them to mount ring I don't have pics of one I have done this to all the 57 I have owned and have sold them all going to start a 57 convertible next year this is how it was in a hot rod or custom book back in I think 1958 my dad did his in 58 but he don't remember what happened to the mag.
