I did an H4 conversion... no need for high beams, the high beam is now a dual ram-air intake

I bought the car the end of last summer from the original owner, a 40 year old woman! It has never seen rain or snow, doesn't leak a drop. I did the valve seals, that was all it needed. It has some body damage, and the typical clear coat peeling. I'm putting an SS hood on it and repainting it the stock color.

I used a dremel cutting wheels and removed the clear cover from the parking lights, removed the diffuser, and found that the chrome inside the light was fading. I re-sprayed the inside of the housing, and covered it with 1/4" lexan. Masked and painted the border of the lexan.

I ordered a different set of parking lights and should get them soon, so these will be for sale in the near future.

It's not functional yet, I need to get a 4" dual snorkel air cleaner housing for it. I can tell you that the motor runs 20* cooler with the headlights out though
