How do you do this?

I have been doing some research and was wondering what it would take to do the headlights like the one in the pic. I really like the look and wanna do it to my cranbrook? Anybody got an idea how and what I would need to purchase.

Thanks

 

car magazines have been doing "how to" on frenching headlights since the first of the little pages books came out. I'd guess there's been at least fifty or more articles on this procedure, some featuring known customizers. I'll bet it's been covered here a time or two, also.

depending on what kind of car its for you can either get headlight rings from certain models of cars(somebody say which ones specifically) and weld them on or you can modify your stock ones and weld them on

 

Hey,

The really cheesie way to do this is to take the stock head lamp doors and weld them to the fender ends once you have moved the headlamp doors outwards to add some length to the end of the fender. The welded on headlamp doors are then filled over with lead or plastic filler and filed or sanded to a shape that suits you. The big problem is stainless steel, when in contact with carbon steel will rust out over time. The other problem is that guys use too much filler to blend in the new frenched detail, and they crack. A better method is to find some carbon steel headlamp doors from another vehicle like a mid 50's Ford truck, and weld these in & fill over them. A much better way to go is to hammerform your own frenched headlamp doors, and weld them in with little or no filler. This method allows you to pick any shape or size frenched detail to fit your own design build.
