Default Custom Headlights ?

I remember a Silver C3 - 68 - 73 model that someone had with custom headlights. It was on an auto-x car and it had the bubble style covers over the headlights.

Can anyone help me out on who it was or what type they are ?

I've searched and haven't been able to find it.

I believe those are/were made by Guldstrand. Last set I saw (C3 parts) went for about $550.

There was a recent thread where a forum member made his own based on the L88 look - very nice!

Guldstrand--don't forget that crucial "d"! I think the address is guldstrandmotorsports.com, but I'm not sure. an MSN search should dredge it up.

Hi FB#1, just noticed some trick exhausts on your car, was it a difficult job?
Any problems with catching?
