Can anyone offer some pics of canted quads as I am looking for ideas. I considering them for a chopped and sectioned 40 ford pickup project. Thanks
http://www.customclinic.com/fullcust/Cushenbery/elmatador/elmatador.html The rest are also-rans but the '60 Lincoln lights on the Mark Mist work pretty well, but Matador would actually be easier to find useable parts for today. Whatever you do with canted quads, I think they look best if you cant the fenders in ahead of the front wheels to match or compliment the light angle, otherwise they just look "glued on".
No matter which you choose, the rings & Bezels will be hard to fine and pricey for good ones. You might consider fabing everything using 4 Hagen buckets.
Do it right and find the real bezels and buckets, do not use HAGEN lights. If anything you find some lucas 5.75" and adap some halogens to then. OR also rememeber you really just need the headlight mounting plate, then you fabricate a way of mounting it from the rear inside of the fender. Then fab the front of the fender, I would add a trim piece betweent he headlights and the frenched in shape. You can use buckets from most 60's cars that have small dual headlights close together. See this item on ebay 280281580941.
A model I never finished. '58 Pontiac headlight bezels turned on their sides. (so the hood over the headlights sit on the outsides of the 40 ford fender. lBB41, got any more pics of the car you posted?
That is one cool purple shoebox. I also like the other victoria two posts before with the eight carbs sticking out of the hood which I believe was built in Mass. To me, canted quads are more of a tribute to those that walked before us and had the balls to get radical with their customs, kinda like the first guy that took the fenders off his deuce. Thanks!
i love this car i have been looking for pics of it since i saw a little pic in a magazine a few years ago. anyone have more info on it??? keep the pics coming im a canted quad freak!
