digging it on the low! car is looking good!

I just went back a few pages, had completely forgotten about the headlights. I've been thinking about something like this, and may have to copy your work (hope you don't mind?)

Some how I have missed this thread? Even though the air bags may not be my cup of tea. I really enjoy seeing someone doing something different to a car and trying stuff. You have taken a lot of brave steps. I will stay tuned to see what you do next. Keep up the good work!

A few more updates.
Removed the inner fenders completely, relocated charcoal canister between the header panel and core support, relocated the battery to the trunck, filled in the front side markers, and a whole bunch of body work , I didn't even know it needed, I guess my grandmother had a few more accidents she didn't let me know about. Also rebuilt the lower hinges and replaced the uppers, now my doors actually shut and open like they should. 20200503_142703.jpg
