RCR's body mods... (Page 9/67)

Not much... Weekends have been busy and it gets dark too early now. Doesn't lend much to motivation. But, I do have pics...

Different thoughts on lenses:
Full cover:

Partial cover:



Been working mainly on the passenger side, trying to get both pods to match.



Also been looking at a finishing touch using Jiff peanut butter tops...Hmm?? More on that later.

Assuming neither cover affects light output/quality, I'd go for the partial covers. Much more unique, imo.

That looks like a skyline front end a little.

I didn't see anywhere I posted in this thread yet so,

I love the snubby design. I've looked at the front like on PK86s car but it is just to long for my taste. I also think the partial headlight lense looks tons better then the full cover. But, that's based off of cardboard. The finished look with lights installed and paint through clear covers may be different.

+ to you for a very neat thread!

Bob, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you underestimate your skills! This is a fresh look at the Fiero nose and I think it ROCKS Are you going to make the lens covers clear or flip-up functional? If clear, I like the full cover, if flip up, I like the partial cover.

Just my $.02



Thank you thank you thank you...

They will eventually be molded clear lexan.

Will: sure need something

OK, a problem I was trying to overcome was the hood hitting the edge of the headlite pod as the hood is opened. The hood is not hinged right at the front lip (as everyone should know), which causes a small "overlap" that wouold rub on the pod. I though my only choice would be to make the pod edge very narrow, or leave a large gap. I was re-reading about Troyboy's car when I noticed Archie made a section that didn't move with the hood.

I immediately saw this as my solution.



And one from the other side:


I picked up some hood struts and hardware from the salvage yard yesterday. I may try to put that together today.
