914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Headlight assemblies completed

Posted by: Doug Leggins Dec 4 2004, 07:22 PM

I've been working on the house remodel alot lately. But have been able to get out to the garage some evenings. Was able to get the headlights put together.

I started with 4 sets of headlights and picked the best parts from the batch to get the best set that I could.

A huge transformation from parts like in this pic. These are some of the pieces that did not make the cut.

The sandblasting and powder coating of the buckets turned out great on these parts.

Spent a lot of time cleaning up all of the little pieces. Found out that laquer thinner takes ziebart coating right off of parts.

Had 1 good set of H4 headlights. Cleaned them up and the chrome rings.

Nice,

It's fun to see pieces like that come together.

looks great what'd you use to touch up the black plastic trim?

And the final pair!

It took a bunch of time and a few beers!

I painted the surrounds with krylon Fusion paint. This is the first time that I have used the Fusion paint - so far it looks very good.

I have also painted the fresh air box assembly with this paint. I'll post pics of it when I get it finished. I had one air box done and then broke off one of the drain legs So now I'm painting a second box.
