Nice! Are the lenses removable?

Yes, the colored lenses come off. If I can find another housing, I may be able to cast a mold in amber from an existing lens.

Just a quick update (sorry, no pictures).
The car will be headed for my nephew's shop soon to have him address the shoddy wiring and install the missing emissions equipment. Then I should be able to get it tagged. At the same time, he will be prepping the car for paint. The current primer body and white hood creates quite an eyesore, so to keep the Mrs on-board with me having two SSPs I need to make the SMPV less ugly. Kris will paint it white with black lower bumpers, just as it looked while in-service. I also plan to get fresh rubber installed on the correct wheels/caps. Not sure if I can swing new Gatorbacks or not, but I would like to if possible.

Kris came by, and we got the car running much better. The vacuum advance diaphragm is shot (huge vacuum leak), so we just plugged the hose, which smoothed things out nicely (along with a different Holley carb and timing adjustment). I will say that it is nice being able to drive a car onto a trailer instead of winching it. It's now headed to the shop for some LOVE!

Forgive the cruddy cellphone pictures (I plan to upgrade soon). Kris has started the disassembly.
 The passenger apron looks OK from this angle...  ...but the underside shows where repairs were made. [view behind the solenoid]  [view to rear of the shock tower]  more to follow...
