Fiberglass patch panels for headlights...
1) What do you guys think of glassing over where the headlights pop-up and placing rectangular headlights behind the lower grill area?
2) Where does one get fiberglass patch panels to cut-to-fit and glass in-place in the holes where the stock headlights came from?
Thanks!

Not sure about CA rules on classic cars w/ QQ plates but on the east coast if you have the QQ plates on the car you never need to bring it to state inspection. So you can take off cats, & put the head lights in the grill. As far as a patch for the openings just bring it to a good fiber glass body shop and have them sealed off the seam. G/L post pic's

Headlights
When I was looking for a Corvette in the early 80's I remember seeing numerous C2's with the headlight area glassed over for a smooth look. usually a couple of square headlight were mounted in the grille area. I doubt if this mounting would meet state DOT guidelines for night driving.

speaking of headlights...... dont you ever get annoyed when a raised truck is behind you and the friggin lights are like 3' high and right in your face....better yet when a newer car with those bright azz halogens is coming the other way and practically blinds you ...wtf...... i dont think the engineers think about on coming traffic when they design them lights....
