Customs 1951 Buick Frenched my Headlights / Tech...

Man that looks good, Looks like a good project for me to teach myself to weld

 

I did mine with the kit from Nightprowlers and it was easy and painless. Rags

 

Man I'm a gonna leave a comment on how good that looks and so I can find your thread in my statistcs!

 

Looks great, and thanks for the nice job with documenting the steps!

 

Good job and great pics!

 

Gonna do my '52 Dodge same way. Thanks for the tips.
Bob

 

any pics of the whole car? frenched headlights look great!

 

Just click on the link to his shop. Or search out his other posts.

 

I love the look. I'm still confused on how the light mounts. Does the bucket mount from behind? Do you have any pics on how the light****embly mounts to the fender? I'm definatly going that way but want to understand how it works before I start tearing stuff up. Please help.

 

As a noob, I was looking for a way to french the headlights on my '51 chevy - and I don't want the 'tunnelled' look. This post made me giddy.

I came 'this' close to hiring a babysitter, mounting the fenders and frenching my headlights tonight!

So, while I know I'm a couple years or so late... thanks

Now, to design my taillight frenching buckets

 

Nice job with photos and explanation. It's on my to do list.

 

Thanks for this post i was wondering how it was done right. i think i can even handle it.

Just browsing this post and the mrs says to me "what are you looking up on the internet?" and I say to her "frenching techniques" and she says "you're not on a***** site?" and I say "oh, yes, what this guy has done is pure*****!"
A big thumbs up from me too!

Older thread, but a great Thanksgiving Day project. Got a good start on doing the wifes 50 Chev this morning.

advanced auto, ace, lowes, homedeopot. they all carry j-clips to accept different size screws.

 

Nice Job Yaril! I'm a big fan of hiding the work with scallops too. Brilliant! I'm looking forward to seeing the taillights getting done!

my point exactly, its all about helping each other out. thank!

post a link to your build if you got one, id like to see!

 

I have a 49 Buick and will be welding up my gas door also. What did you do with the filler neck? Did you just put it in the trunk, or something more clever?

 

Any problem welding stainless rings to fenders with a mig set up for general shop work? Thanks guys.

 

ttt please.

 

Nice Job! I really like how youre buick is coming along and home to make mine in a similar way

 

I've been wondering the same thing. Any other cool places to route the filler neck? I know this tread is old, but I see you guys are still following it.

 

you could do it but it wouldn't be the best
