The problem has been there is no going back. Well I took a chance, it was easier and looks better then I thought it was going to. I'm sure the stock restoration guys are going to choke. Care to guess what the lights are off of? http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2247671910106367558BaaybD | | | | | Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 199 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 199 | Looks like you got a little part of a Beetle stuck on the front of your truck. I think it looks good | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Don't take this personal, but "darn" ! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 | Yup VW bug, shamful I know but it was a perfect fit with the correct look.
Spanky - you mean "darn" that looks good right? :-)
I'm keeping the metal I cut out as well as the headlights so if at a later day it needs to go back it can. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | It actually looks good!
I prefer the original look myself. It almost looks factory.
Nice job! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | Ah!, Yeah right. LOL. You know me. I'm a "purist". I like the original look also. I probably would have installed Chevy COE headlights, if it were me, but you did do a good job. If a person didn't know it, they'd think they were original. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | I have to agree...twice. I do love the originals, but those puppies really do look right at home there. Nice job! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | Ditto with Tango... I never remember those lights being very bright, do they make Halogen light bulbs for them? Looks like you have a rare '58 Yeomen parked next to your truck! Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 | It has just a regular sealed beam light in it. I'm guessing a modern halogen would fit right it. Yes it is a Yeoman. 2dr. with 348 3x2 and a 4sp. The chassis and drivetrain is done. If these big bolt would stop distracting me I might get it done. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | Did the Yeoman come from the factory with the 348? I'm guessing not as they were the bottom of the line wagons... I know what you mean about the big bolts getting in the way...I'm trying to finish a 3100, but a 4400 is calling my name BIG time...lol!!! Mike B | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 | It didn't have the 348 when I got, or any other engine. It was a v8/auto car from the factory, doubt it was a 348.
