Head lights/ Tail lights for Deuce ?

[Jon Haigwood]

My current build is full fendered 32 3 window. I am putting in a more modern engine and updating the front & rear suspension. I would like to do something different with the headlights. Something other than the standard round ones. My first thoughts on the tail lights is have red lens cut into the body, maybe all the way across or individual lens cut into the fenders.

My google search did not come up with anything for me.

Thought I would ask you fine out of the box builders for idea

Thanks

Here's a full width tail light as you suggest.

Some round ones sunk into the rear apron...

Here are some little curved slitty ones...

An unusual headlight design...

An AMT kit offered this headlight option...

Well the first pic is something like what I was considering. The triangle shaped headlight would look good on a 34 where the grill is angled back, but it does give me some ideas to kick around. The grill/lights on the sedan look like an Edsel was some how involved in the process. Thanks for the response and the ideas.

Round headlights just kinda go with the '32 Ford, but size and exact placement make all the difference. Here are some illustrations... https://www.google.com/search?q=32+ford+headlights&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=731&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=OZqEVaXIHIq2sAWDlIHADA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#tbm=isch&q=custom+32+ford+render

For a more modern look, a takeoff on an updated AlaKart nose might be interesting...

Or Plymouth Prowler headlights...

Full fendered you say Jon?

Maybe this as a consideration:

Maybe 65-66 Mustang tail lights, just a suggestion

I altered a Gary Campesi illustration and slapped Edsel quad lights on a '34-ish pickup, for my thread on ideas I'll probably never get around to building......

I have a WIP here that might spark an idea for you ..

Taillight surrounds are plastic strips that carry the body trunk body molding down to surround some hand made shapes. The clear red taillight shapes are'nt in the photo.

Headlights are from a Prowler
