Found a brand new front clip at the junkyard inside a bus. Lady gave it to me for just a bit under $20.

So rather then resell it, I figured mom always wanted a bit of my old 78 in the barn. . .


So naturally...I put some headlights and turn lenses and a grill on it...


And viola!

Dad’s gonna wire the low beams to a 5v power supply and put it on a switch and it will get placed to moms preference Cool

When I saw the thread title, I was REALLY hoping this was one of those helpful videos! Very Happy

Is that your Fortnight-playing setup in the background?

Fun project.
