I have 1933 master headlights that are chrome and seem to be longer cone shape then the painted version with chrome rings. I recently purchased the painted ones but like the longer cone shape. Is there anyone who can rework my headlight buckets as there is a dent where the hood hit it. Which light is the right one for this car?

The painted one are steel & they are for 1933 to 1935 Standard & 1934 to 1936 truck. The Chrome ones are correct for Master & Eagles. They are made of brass. The ring is 1933 Master/Eagle only with the widow peak...Joe

A good chrome plating restoration shop can repair them , but be prepared to spend a considerable amount of cash.

Musical instrument repair shop can also fix the headlight buckets. The often are less expensive than chrome platers.

If they are ground too thin in the repair the chrome plating will warp the brass.

In order to repair the damage the chrome will have to be removed first.
