Holes
Over the last week I cut the out the “headlight holes” and have been designing a way to hold the headlights and still be able to adjust them. Since the lenses, which are being manufactured by Eddie Dixon of SEW CREATIVE INC, Thank You Eddie, will be glued on and, the system will be enclosed, I decided to use the light bar or rather, The part of the light bar which housed the lights in the first place and modify them to fit my car. The Photos below depict the progress. I will be adding to them as I go along. My plan is to attach brackets onto the Taurus Light Bar pieces and create a box in the cavity which houses the light. The lights need to be aimed so that all they will need is fine tuning once they are installed. Once the lights are pointed in the general direction, the light itself will be removed and the mount will be taped off. I will next fill the cavity with foam and once it is set up I will carve out the headlight housing and create a lip for the lens. The Lenses which Eddie is making are an exact replica of the piece I cut out. They will conform to the lines of the body. The housing will, of course be glassed over and made sturdy as an airplane wing before the lens is glued on. Thank you Burt Rutan
