Title: UPDATE: repro front turn signal & reverse lens project
Post by: BuickGS65 on August 28, 2016, 10:24:52 AM

Hello Everyone:

As you may know, Chris H. (my friend and founder of this website) spearheaded the development and high-quality reproduction of the front turn signal and reverse lenses for our beloved '65s. Chris has now passed the torch to me - and I am honored.

I am now the proud owner of the molds and the remaining inventory. I am getting ready to get the wheels in motion on another production run and wanted to gauge interest on demand (and in turn, work with John E. on the accompanying gaskets).

Thanks everyone.

 I have a new set of front turn signal lenses I received from Chris but I could use two sets of backup lenses.

(http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/wink_smile_triangle.gif) . . . It's discrimination I tell ya'!  None of this will fit on my trusty 1965 Buick Special wagon! . . . (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/rant.gif)

But I suppose I shouldn't complain (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/smiley.gif) . . . . since I have NOS parts for the front parking light lenses and even the wagon backup light lenses!  :love4:

Although finding the backup light lenses for a wagon 'tweren't easy! (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/clonk_head.gif)

Seriously best of luck Dan on your new project and definitely guys stock up!  These aren't going to be easy to find otherwise!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

P.S. I might be interested in a spare set of front gaskets since they are the same for the Special and Skylark/GS.

Hi Everyone:

REVERSE lenses are now IN STOCK.

These lenses are made of POLYCARBONATE (read: plastic that safety glasses are made from) and are far superior than original.

$55/pair for the reverse lenses
$12/pair for reverse gaskets
$10 Priority shipping on both items

If you are interested, please email me directly at BuickGS65 <at>    gmail.com

Thanks!
