i like to document what i do, so people can see that it doesnt take much to get onto the track

You got me all wrong. This doesnt blow at all. You are taking a POS and showing people up. The only thing I dont like is some of the fabbing you do. If you just did a little research it would save you tons of time and your end result would be better. Practise make perfect

fabbing?......I dunno, but its good to see people working on there own cars still. To me, taking a car to a shop ( besides machine work and or welding etc. ) is like having someone else fuck yo girl. That shit aint right. Sometimes you got to get out the 12mm and turn some wrenches! Thats what its all about. That and drifting. David

okay here comes the dicussion of my no pop up lights


i dont like pop ups, ALOT of people do, so if im going to do this.. id like it to be sort of okay for others to view, i dont want people to look down on it



heres my options



my favorite idea


is to have them hidden, at all times... and have a slide or bolt on cover, and when i really need headlights, just slide the cover, or pop it off to have the headlight viewed


its as easy as, cutting out and molding the headlight into here, or even have a flap over it

or, just remove this whole marker light assembly, and install the bulb with a 1 or 2 bolt bracket.. its a track car.. i never use my lights


i dont like this look though, i think it looks way awesome, with no lights. but this would be kinda what its like, when im using them.. just for transportation to a car meet if im not trailering it





or, i could rock doubles per side.. but i think its ugly



what do you think guys, your opinion makes a difference on my front end

this idea has me remove the stupid non working pop ups.. i dont gotta search for miore headlight assemblies and motors when i wreck, and i dont gotta have those big ass sealed beams, this i can fab up real quick if i ever damage them

I definitely like where you're going with removing the popups(Im a huge fan but mainly for the look when they're closed so this works), I originally thought the dual setup would look better but after seeing it I would go with the single you got and the slide covers. As always I love what you got goin on with that car man.

I like the duals... It just looks too simple with only one light...

I do think you should recess the ones on the ends a little bit... Kinda stagger em a little...
