Just a little update this time:

1st two pics... I started doing the lamp inserts last night, starting with the lamp socket plate for the KISS letters in the centre of the PF. Just the usual solder the lamp barrel to the base trick, i wasnt sure how this would work considering the size of the metal plate, and getting enough heat into it for the solder to flow, but it worked well, just turned the heat right up on my soldering station and used a large chisel tip. then i soldered each wire directly to the centre conductor pin of each socket.

And a pic of the PF starting to go back together  $#$
