Re: 'bird headlight mod opinion

I'm doing the lazy eye mod but the suspension, engine/trans, come first. I did make some progress before I tore down the front end:
Lazy eye mod 1

Lazy eye mod 2

Re: 'bird headlight mod opinion

Wow, it's been 5 years already. In the time it took me to get going on this I've been to school, and am on my second job already. At least this one affords me some time to get things done. Well, I went about making a sheetmetal backing to hold the lamp in and using the H5064 cradle to do the adjusting. Here's what I got done this weekend:
Front shot on the floor. Fiberglass needs trimming still.


Side shot in the car


Side shot compared to popped hood

Nope. Shortly after the pictures, I pulled the motor and am about done with that. I've also moved, so that is taking up a lot of time. I should be getting started on them again in a few months. Mainly so that I can drive the car once again.
