Pardon my blasphemous thoughts, but on CLONES only,why not do a covered headlight ? If the hidden lights are a big problem to get right, why not ? Put down that bucket of tar & bag of feathers ! Just a thought !

I like your thinking 4speed! Will have to use a shorter square lights the rounds are to tall to shine out the hole totally.

I said I was a Iron guy. It's stout, I stood on top of it 185lbs should do the trick. Plus now I have an iron base to build all my lighting brackets off of.

Headliner time

Not bad for 80% done and my first one. The bungee straps are a life saver. I've watched videos of guys using clamps but after cutting back to the headliner mounting lip on both sides of the bow sleeves and pulling it tight with the bungees it stretched out really well.

Ludeke74, I don't intend the CLONE to be an insult. Just wanted to make sure no one thought I was suggesting the covered headlights on an original car. I'd be afraid to drive a Daytona,Superbird, or a 69 500. But a tribute car can be used & enjoyed.

Headliner and trim done. Windows in. Floor insulation and carpet in.

Other than some more nose cone alignment and headlights this is how I'm rolling this summer. The rear body work will have to wait till next winter. I got the a/c working and all the parts coming to finish the interior so it will be a good cruiser for the summer. Amazing the difference that 1/4" insulation makes on the floor. I also installed it behind the rear seat back, hope it doesn't muffle the subs too bad.

lights camera action

Went with the hidden lights after a few hours of fabricating brackets for the fiberglass buckets. Decided this way would last a lot longer than the fiberglass would from all the weight and hanging. The covers are held on by one large wing nut underneath after sliding It on some rubber mounts.

 

[Lighthorseman]

So, do the headlight covers flip down, or do you just manually remove them? I really like the look of the recessed lights, and am still trying to figure out what I want to go with when I get to this stage.

 

[wedge69]

That thing is BAD *** !!!!!

 

[Ludeke74]

Lighthorseman they're manual.
