It may seem like a small thing but it is a reflection on the overall thoughtfulness that went into the Backdraft design. I simply don't understand the motivation to have an exact copy of a car that had in it's original form imperfections that were the result of the generation of technology and manufacturing capability they had at the time.

PS- I've lurked here for a while, never posted anything until now. I have #1333.
So you like the stacked round lamps? Superformance offers them at no cost, it's just that most people are looking to replicate the "S/C" models that had the rectangular Hillman tail lamps.

Different strokes.....
