Thread: Volkswagen Single Cab Street Rod with 400 Hp Chevy crate motor

Tweet

I have never been completely happy with the headlights on the truck and decided to try out a different set. They are Model A reproductions and will be mounted near the wheels and will turn with the steering. They will also be positioned near the trucks original location when pointed straight ahead. Made the mounting brackets today.

Started with a paper template.

Then cut the brackets out of a piece of scrap

Painted the brackets and will install with the headlights tomorrow.

I mounted the headlights today but am not happy with the way they look. Too far apart and too conservative.

Decided to play around with the original headlights again

Also experimented with some motorcycle lights

Possibly recessed into the nose at an angle following the body line

Any suggestions?
