Having a tough headlight install

[clementine]

Hello FABO!!

Lots of sorting out the hot rod lately.

Latest is headlight install.

67 barracuda.
7” standard headlight.
Cracked back relays (not really related though)

Do I have the wrong buckets?
It’s really tough to get a screw driver by the grill to tighten headlight retainer rings.

SOMETIMES that helps David, but I've learned to ignore most of the voices I hear.
Another foolish Mopar quirk with headlights and signal lights too.
As George said, looks great!

Thanks Steve. A long way to go, but she has come a long way. I need to find a pic of when I first got her.

Here it is. It doesn't look too bad until you decide on black paint
