The reason, I going to hammer the slight highlight under headlight area More pronouned or sharper so you see it a little more. Ya I know set the pipe down!
Title: Re: Lets see 66 and earlier cars without horn grills Post by: Wünderwolff on February 07, 2010, 21:01:02 pm It definitely still needs paint as now it attracts the "strangest" people to pose in front of the Karma Kameleon. But you can see one of the horngrill-less Day Mouldings fenders. To the left is a 67, so upright lenses match the lucas perfectly. And to the right is an aged post 66, with color coded horngrills.
To you to decide which you like best. Title: Re: Lets see 66 and earlier cars without horn grills Post by: Rennsurfer on February 08, 2010, 01:58:12 am It's a matter personal preference, of course. You can leave or shave the grilles and/or turn indicators. Any way you go, it'll look good.
Title: Re: Lets see 66 and earlier cars without horn grills Post by: 61SNRF on February 08, 2010, 03:21:42 am This is my '61 in '77. If i remember correctly, I drew a line from the headlight screw to the corner of the fender, then centered the light between. When I later added Euro bumpers the lights were a little too low, so bumpers or Tee bars should be considered too.
When I do my '66, I will use the headlight screw and the top of the bumper bracket to mount them a little higher and further outboard.

The reason, I going to hammer the slight highlight under headlight area More pronouned or sharper so you see it a little more. Ya I know set the pipe down! If you're doing custom metalwork, then lose the horn grilles. With the grilles in place you'll not notice the metalwork as much. |
