I have none. Its the finishing piece that covers the screws and attachments for the headlights. I suppose I could go without them but my headlights look a bit odd......idk 
One would think that somewhere I should have them. I mean I tore it apart......Its not a part I have seen lately.

I've bought used parts, second hand new parts for cheap, and trades galore. Plus I bought a parts car that I'm selling parts off of. I bet I'm into this car less than $1500 out of pocket so far. Ive got a ways to go tho.
I didn't need any body parts when I did my Camaro, so it was easier to rebuild. But my Austin required a lot of parts, and not much beyond engine parts was purchased new. Virtually everything that has gone into it came from swap meets, Craigslist, or even garage sales. The result is that to this point I've got around $6500 in the car including the $1900 I paid for the car when I purchaed it originally.
Buying good used parts is a great way to stretch your buying bucks, and I think Steve has done this with his '79 project, and saved a lot of money so far.

Just ordered up a set of new kick panels.
That means I'll be selling off my original restored kicks, These are way cooler.
He has one set left for anyone who wants to order one. I don't think he is going to be making any more this winter.

I've been wanting them forever, could not resist knowing that they are going to be gone soon until the weather warms up. He has one set left by the way.
