Chevy C1500 stepside custom


Recommended Posts

Here's a quick tutorial for the grille/headlights.

I completely hollowed out the grille.

Dechromed and painted. Then used a piece of sheet plastic as the backing. Drilled holes and used aluminum tube for the lights.

Used some glue inside the tubes, then painted them, Blue for the headlights and amber for the marker/turn signals. If I had taken a little more time I would have used pins and painted the pin heads to represent bulbs. Then used clear sheet plastic for the lenses.

Nick, the grille is from Model Car Garage.
