Great build! I kept pondering how to do the tail lights on a future build and now you came up with a brilliant sullution! 👍

Beautiful! 👍 How did you manage to build the two chrome rims in the front grille?

I took a wooden swizzle stick with the thickness and width of the grille. Then I wrapped silver wire packed around it. Cut the roundings apart and glued the ends together. At the end I bent it a little better in form. I'm okwith the outcome.
