First Winter Project Finished

Well, got my first project done, new headlights so I can see at night! Made the shrouds/mounts/new headlight stops myself.

All I misplaced was a single pivot bushing lol, for now I machined one out of some hard plastic...

Hahah not yet, dunno if I want to, the shrouds aren't perfect, I fiberglassed and bondo'd both sides by hand with no form and I spent so much time on it that I eventually said "good enough" and painted them. After all, they only come up at night anyways haha

Here's a close up at night though:

Those look really cool. The shorter opening really makes the car look cooler. Seeing how others have created their own parts is cool. Got any pics showing you making them?

Post some fabrication pics and I'll try to post some pics of the 69 Camaro/Vette I'm building.
