Darren B Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 After looking at the mock up i can see the frame thickness is too thick and i need to thin it all the way around as well, i like the look but need to tweak it till it looks right or just go with the first one i made.
Darren B Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 Mocked up the lights like this location but will do some more playing around with local...
Darren B Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 The bottom picture the headlamp was starting to fall so its a little low in front but closer to where it will be installed, im thinking ill have to carve a foundation for the lamps to fit the fender...
slusher Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Darren, i really like the head light idea with the the diecast. Great idea on the visor and bamboo bed rails...
gatorincebu Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Darren, i really like the head light idea with the the diecast. Great idea on the visor and bamboo bed rails... A big X's 2 The visor looks great. yes it needs to be thinned down a bit. but the idea works because you made it work. now if yopu can just do the visor brackets and match the corners of the visor material ???? that would be neater than cornflakes ! lol On the headlight housing. Why not try cutting the fender in mounting the headlight that way ? Kinda like Frenching the housing ! You have this one going on Darren!! Be Well Gator

Be Well Gator Gator, now thats an idea on french the headlamps as they stick out a great deal, if I had a second kit it would not be so scary cutting into the fenders, may try to find another kit just in case I botch the job and run the fenders, not to confident but will give it a whirl....
Darren B Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I totally gave up on the old seat idea, will still use the wood beads for the head rest but was pulling my hair out try to keep the two wires together to get the beads and metal stringers on them so tossed that idea, this idea was ok was not keen about the button tufted seats on the inside but ok. However I tossed these as well as I have found what I will be using for the seats... Edited February 22, 2016 by Darren B
Darren B Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) These are the seats that will be in the finished product. I like these, the skull and cross bones are the back of the seat and the wood beads again will be the head rests. I may put a small little something to raise the bottom slats up off the bottom of the interior but may not. Edited February 22, 2016 by Darren B

Darren B Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 I was thinking about adding something to the back window and may be some side curtains...... just toying around with the idea...
gatorincebu Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Darren , The grill work in the rear window is a keeper. I think it looks really good! Be well Gator
