Building up a '72. Taking liberties from stock.
Never did care for the peek-a-boo headlights-wondering if anyone has found another home for them. Thinking of putting rectangular headlamps in the fog light openings and wondering if this would work, or be illegal somehow...thoughts and ideas? Thx |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) SirAndy is correct, remember that original factory headlight settings for USA import required raising the front suspension to a minimum height. Most of us then lowered the body/suspension to adjust body rake to a more "aesthetically pleasing" level! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
