Hot Rods Model A headlight positioning.

So, I've been struggling with the placement of the "A" headlights. Seen some crazy***** out there. Some either look like a Frog, a Flounder, cross-eyed, like Marty Feldman, too high, too low, too wide, too close. Been studying hard, I think. Did I get it right? Let the killing begin. Still a project, still kinda uneven on the stands. But I trust my HAMB buddies to keep me going down the right road. Thanks for your input. 9"

 

Height and spread is just fine.


Maybe just the camera angles, but it almost looks like the right one has rolled over to the right while tightening the ball nut on the bottom? Looks that way in two of the pics

 

i think you nailed it! love the car. definately need more pics of it. also love your garage, it was hard to keep looking at the car with all the cool stuff you've got there.

 

Thank-you. Yes...need to heat one of the stands. Ones a shade off.

 

they look great to me..hell even on the original bar or a dropped bar they are even fun to get even or just right

 

yep

 

I think they could be lower, somewhere near the top of the tire but that's just personal preference. It looks good. And clean the webs of the glass...

 

Lower, closer to the grille shell, move 'em forward a bit to clear the tops of your shocks. Funky headlight placement can kill an otherwise cool car -- and there's nothing more hillbilly than headlights pointing in different directions. My two cents...
