    Thanks............I thought about making the lights functional but there's no room for the parking lights. Its just the lense mounted on a bracket. I'm sure I could rig up something but thats for another day. All the parts were junk parts. No good parts were hurt in the making of this......whatever this is. The headlight doors and hood lip molding are all dinged and scratched up. The hood and fender parts were off a total rust bucket. The valance and bumper were pretty smashed up and in the scrap pile. One thing that amazed me was how easy the bumpers are to shape. That one was really mangled and it pounded back into pretty decent shape. The rest is welded, glued and bondo'ed together, Its a lot rougher than it looks but then, its supposed to have come through a brick wall. Now Its time to clean the garage up and drag in the next project. This time it will be a whole car.

    Hmmmm...............yea, right next to the Harley.

    COOL!!! Now you need to attach a rear 1/4 to the outside,functional trunk lid, open to inside garage, use for wood box for your wood heater, that way you don't have to go outside to get firewood as much, you do have a wood heater don't you? All country garages have them. lol:biglaugh: :biglaugh: Acutally, I stole this idea from I think it was Dave Bell, had a simular setup in his art studio, seen it in Street Rodder a few years back. :tsk:
