Bought HID headlights. High and low beam and white DRL that toggles to amber as a turn signal.

Picked up some reproduction Mooneyes cast aluminum light mounts. It's clears the tire but not by much. I designed a 2" riser that fits under the light pod and makes plenty of clearance. I tested that by 3d printing a sample and it worked great (not actually shown in the pics).

No trim rings came with the truck so I designed and 3d printed a sample which worked great. I'll make these from aluminum. 3 holes actually mount the ring to the pod (sandwiching the light) the rest of the holes are just blind tapped to make it look like it has nine bolts holding it together

This floor. make the beast with two backs this floor 🤣 The passenger side hit me hard with lessons. Next time I'm doing the floor a little differently. But it fits and it's functional. I still need to make some patches to cover the bolts in the corners but that's for another day. I'm tired of looking at it right now so I'm working on other things

Ultimately I'll make a right angle patch to cover this seam that will be riveted into place.

Had to take s few weeks off. I lost two weeks to Covid. 0/10. No desire to ever experience this again. The past week I've been at about half power. Feeling pretty good now though. Managed to work a little last weekend and a good bit this weekend at the shop machining rings and risers.
More floor work. I decided to add curved triangular panels to fill in

Headlight trim/retaining rings. None came with the truck so I designed my own. 3d printed one to test and since that worked I made aluminum ones.

Only three holes are actually for mounting screws. Because it looked weird like that the rest of the holes are just tapped blind for some short 1/4-20 bolts to make it look more serious.

Cast aluminum replicas of some Mooneyes light stalks from, I'm guessing, the 60's.

Tapped the frame 1/4-28. It's actually pretty rigid. 12pt bolts to match everything else on the front end.

I like the effect. Old truck with cyborg headlights.
Something like what I was going for in my house using rough sawn posts to hold up engineered beams.

This. Those headlight rings look killer.

Here I was thinking the passengers side headlight housing was the same as the driver's side.
It's not even close. My parts don't work
