The buckets are parts box headlamps (from a 30 Ford if I remember well), with a short section of styrene round tube glued under to make a mounting "ring" to slip on a mounting peg. The lens is a Michael's craft store diamond-shaped sequin, tinted red. Voilà! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeakDoc Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Beautiful! Did you put something in the bucket behind the headlight lenses in order to recreate the two-part halogen assembly or is it simply a daub of red/orange paint?

Did you put something in the bucket behind the headlight lenses in order to recreate the two-part halogen assembly or is it simply a daub of red/orange paint? Hi Chris! Thank you for the comment. Indeed, I replicated what many of us do with 1/1 rods to hide the flashers: put the bulb inside the bucket. In this case, just a dot of orange sharpie pen ink on the inside of the lens. But you have to be gentle with the canopy glue when mounting it, because the humidity of the glue sometimes dissolves the ink dot. Don't ask me how I know... Voilà!

unclescott58 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Very kool. I wouldn't think the Chrysler grille would work. But, it look great. I like it. Edited September 20, 2020 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Very nice. Missed it first time around, glad it's popped up again. Fenderless "fat fendered" cars aren't often seen, and usually don't look anywhere near this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
