Fog Lights mounting

Big thanks for all of the replies! I've got a lot of ideas to work with. I've got an alternator on the car, so current draw isn't a problem. I still may add a switch & wire the fog lights separate from the parking lights. No real Code enforcement in this part of VA re antique vehicles & fog lights though.
 
I attached my fog lights to the top bumper rail and ran black cloth covered wires under the bumper mounts. I turn them on with a separate switch hidden under the dash rail.

Wow Blockhead that sure is a beautiful car. I sure like that color and I like the way you mounted your fog lights too. What is that chrome piece behind the drivers side cowl light? I can't tell by the picture.

Tom....
 
Thanks Tom. The piece behind the cowl light is a Spotlight in the "Down Position". Here is a picture with it turned up.

I actually used two spare Spotlight heads for my Fog Lights so The Spotlight and the Fog lights are basically a matched set.

I like it!! Even has a Spotlight. :p:p Not sure about the antenna tho, Police Car?

That was my dad's car when he was in college and seminary, and I've often wished I could have one more chance to ask him a bunch of questions about it, and other things of course. He drove it 500 miles from Philly to Columbus every other weekend to visit my future mom for two years while she worked off her college debt and he began seminary. Here's a picture of his incentive package!

Ive seen/heard people use fuel line or big brake line (metal stuff) and bend it to the curve of the underside of the bumper bracket, then tackweld it in place and feed the wire thru. Not only does it hide the wire it protects it as well.
