Got the plastic piece roughed together last night, looks much more finished.
Just need to polish up the edges & I'll stick it down.

I can cut one for you if you like... now that I have a template.

 

sounds good. what's it look like?

 

I'll get a pic on the weekend after I put it in place.

BTW Mr Headlight specialist....
did you ever consider getting the amber(signal) reflectors out of the headlights??

 

they are reflectors? Didn't realize. Now did you every figure out what those two inner projectors do?

 

Yeah... I thought they were just amber bulbs at first.
I was just going to do the usual silver bulb/paint/LED thing.
But when I pulled the bulbs I was surprized to see they are clear.....
The amber colour is from a reflector behind the bulb.
I saw one guy that had them done, but he paid someone to do it & didn't know the process.

I'll have a closer look one of these days.
If it requires splitting the lights to get in there.. then I won't bother.
The other posibility is if they can be reached & broken then pieced/vac'd out.

The inner projectors are used for DRL here.
Not sure otherwise.

 

Wahoooo wheels are in...
See ya, ....off to N.F.

 

Fantastic, we will be expecting pics this weekend

Hey cool car Christian, I like it.

Blown 57 Chevy Nomad, oh the good old days I had a 58 Nomad .

 

I've never had a nomad, but my dad is a hot rod guy and he's had just about every classic car under the sun. When I was 5 or 6 he build me a 1929 Plymouth from the ground up. He chopped it and lowered it and dropped in a Chevy 350 small block. He never got around to adding a blower, because he sold it just before I turned 16. Signing those papers for the sale really sucked!! (It was registered to me)

 

Wow, your dad must have been a great guy. Wouldn't it be awesome to have that 29 now?

 

That is way cool, I love the old hot rods, too, though I've never had one. Missed owning a '67 Chevelle 396 when I was 16 by this | | much. My uncle was selling it for $1000. My Dad was gonna buy it and I was gonna pay him back. Then my uncle said he wanted $2000. My Dad told him to go to he11. No matter how I begged and pleaded, he wouldn't do the deal. Just as well, I'da killed my stupid self in it (as I nearly did on a motorcycle 10 years later).

So bring Dad to the Alberta meet!!
