Scott Roberts Scott Roberts Member Registered: 04/10/08 Posts: 10	Does any one know where to find reverse lenses for a 1958 buick special. Both of mine are intact but have age cracks. They are not hazy but the cracks show badly in the sun. Any fixes ???? Or fillers ???? Cracks appear to be in the plastic not on the surface. Any one try to make lenses? _________________________ 1958 BUICK SPECIAL 2BBL 3SPEED SYNCROMESH

You will need a pair of intact lenses for a pattern. Crazing is OK for that purpose.........Bob _________________________ Bob Beck 39 Chev PU 69 big block Corvette 55 Buick 66C 57 Buick 46C 55 Olds S-88 56 Chrysler St. Regis AACA, BCA, WPC, USHGA

Well the body should be off this weekend. And I can start welding and blasting. Thanks again Scott. _________________________ 1958 BUICK SPECIAL 2BBL 3SPEED SYNCROMESH

Not sure if they are better than yours, but worth a look. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1958-Buic...sspagenameZWDVW http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1958-Buic...sspagenameZWDVW _________________________ Sean Smith BCA# 42746
