Thread: Head light bar location

Tweet

I don't have a good side pic of mine, but these are on So-Cal stands.

Got exactly what you're looking for... So Cal bar, stock deuce lights... I mounted my bar as close to the grill as I could get it and still have enough "breathing room" that it doesn't touch the fins. Hardest part was drilling a hole on a 45 degree angle to mount the V8 emblem.

BTW, Gastrick, that's a badass coupe you got there.... definitely has "the look" nailed.

Headlight placement is subjective,with 100 different ideas of what's best. I personally don't like how the lights are positioned on either one of those cars Deuce posted, but that's just my opinion... I do share his liking for "big" original style lights over little sealed beams, but I think they should always be at least partially ahead of the grill shell...I guess I just think when they are mounted outside/behind the shell it makes them look too far apart and "odd" . My car had sealed beam style lights placed in a similar manner when I got it and it was the very first thing I changed...

Everyone has different taste. Different body styles ...

Hiboy or fendered ...
Flattie or OHV
Manual or automatic ...
Then you add colors ...

Thats what help make Hotrodding so much fun ... IMHO

Believe me, I know it Deuce... I'm relatively new to rodding, but came over from the restoration world of musclecars...where there's either "correct", or "wrong", with virtually no room for personal expression or style. Its so refreshing to have the freedom to do whatever you want, and to SEE so many variations,styles, and ideas of the same concept...Of the zillion 32 fords out there, every single one is different, which is cool in my book.
