    Scratch Building a Coupe

    I fabricated some head lamp brackets today. I had to do a bit of machining to get a cup type recess to adjust the head lamps by loosening the bottom nut that holds them tight. I figure it was around a 35 degree or near enough to do the job. I used scraps from my pile as I dont have any more...

    One snap shot shows what the head lamps will look like with the empty space filled in with sheet metal,between the lamp and the signal. I like this much better Ill just paint them the same color as the car.

    Scratch Building a Coupe

    I went and picked up my 25 dollar set of head lights today. I have some photos. They look like likely candidates for my fenders. I dont like the parking or signals spaced out like they are. I think i may play around with a piece of sheet metal to cover the space and paint it. It may look better...
