I have made one pair from handlin-buck rear markers. I think they turned out great.It helped because I had access to sheet metal rolls etc.
I had to do a lot of dissassembly of the existing rear markers .You also need to have good soldering
skills and the soldering equipment.It takes a BIG
soldering iron.I use a torch heat type like handlin did as well as a big electric Iron.And acid core solder.I used them on D&SNG 478.I'm building second pair;later version without chimney
