Looking at putting together a "project kit" that will allow you to take a weekend and completely restore your headlight area.
As we make several parts already, we have embarked in trying to get "everything" you need. Even the paint.

The idea is that you can replace the bushings, and adjusters, and screws. Even including the chemicals you need to pre-treat the metal for rust resistance and matched paint. We have found a very good metal treatment that is not caustic and is pretty simple to use. We can get in quantity and break it into job size portions.

Here is the preliminary fun I've had at testing these out.
