Snakeeyes, I make head light covers along with the bodies for Dragon Motor Cars. I think the head light covers are the same as the Lister. The covers originally came off a Beck car.
I also made all the plexi parts for the FFR Daytona Coupe. Interesting that the middle portion of the Daytona head light cover will fit the Dragon. Not perfect, but it works OK.
Jim, I see that they are extending the edge of the cover. That is the hardest part of the process. I have found that I had to extend all the parts out to at least three to four inches to prevent the parts from distorting while moulding. After a lot of trial & error, I got it right. I can't wait to see the car when it's done. Lime Rock maybe??????
