Features Canted and Quadheadlight kustoms.

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by Norrland, Dec 25, 2019.

  1. Need some inspiration and pictures of kustomcars with quanted and quad headlights. So show me some pictures of your own car or cars u know of?? Love the wilderstyle and the old swedish late 60's early 70's style. As seen on the pictures FB_IMG_1572380945608.jpg FB_IMG_1575372402230.jpg FB_IMG_1574637337410.jpg FB_IMG_1573303143795.jpg FB_IMG_1573302424397.jpg FB_IMG_1572382238397.jpg

    Canted headlights makes a car look like a cross eyed drunk.
    Just my two cents, take it for what it's worth....

    The OP asked for pictures, not your negative opinion. Merry Christmas, Grinch!

  9. Our 56 Chevy with quad headlights out of a 57 Chrysler, though not canted. They were added before that trend took off in Portland.

    Norrland's opening six photos show how cars shouldn't look.

    My next custom is going to have 6 headlights.
    Maybe 8 if I use the small ones.
    They won't just be canted, they'll be all over the place.
    My canted quads just don't seem like enough.
    They're starting to look stock to me.
    Go read some little books, haters

  14. Pretty cool background on this one. Bought new by his dad, same name as his ... WWII pilot, shot down & POW'd in 1944 .. my old San Antonio, Snap On Tools neighbor .. Norman "Skip" Bodet's family 1956 T-bird. Long hot rod history. Every Y block under the sun and a VS57 McCullough supercharger eventually. The headlights were put in, in the early 1960's. No more Y block .. but car has always been a test bed.

    I've always dug it. Need to get back in touch with him. Great fabricator. Cool car.

    I got this old custom over 25 years ago . She was so ugly she was cute. With the aid of a 4 dr parts car I turned her into more of a Larry Ernst style custom. Long gone now and sadly the build pictures got lost to. Although I always thought this build style really showed a customizers talent {one way or another lol} I built cars to sell back then and this was to far over the top for most people at the time. 10 years ago she might of been hottest thing out there. Oh well Larry

    This one I really dig. You'll probably find more pics in the other threads. Super cool car, kinda wish it was mine. Screenshot_20191226-105133(1).jpeg

  23. those triple head lights actually work pretty well on that 59 Olds. Doesn't look too wild as there really isn't much bodywork around it.

  24. Here’s my contribution to the cause.[​IMG] I know, I know they’re not canted, but how often do you see an Edsel Citation convertible.
