Photoshop headlights?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by C9, Dec 17, 2003.

  1. Any chance someone could photoshop the larger style Deuce headlights on this car for me?

    Got a chance on a like-new set of re-pro's for a righteous price and am thinking the big lights might look good.

    Go for it C9. Make the electrical connection a plug in then you can change them back and forth when the whim hits you. In the old days everyone was taking off the big lights and putting on the small ones. Seems like today its just the opposite. Regardlees, they both look good.

    here's my interpretation. If I make another H/L bar, I might lower them a bit.

    I like the stock headlights on 70s style "resto-rods" but on 50s and early 60s style hotrods I am accusomed to seeing sealed beams and that means Dietz, King Bee or Guide, and that's what I think looks best on them.
    Less frontal area for racing wind drag too!
    (That is still going to be a race car isn't it?)

    Just to confirm I wasnt just daydreaming I just thumbed through three issues of Hotrod from 1954 and every hotrod/streetrod in all three had one of the above three light choices on it.
    Even the Channeled Ford 60 powered '38 Fiat Topolino from East LA.

    If you go with the big ones, they need to move back alongside the grillshell like 36couper did. Unless you do a crossbar like Tommy. They look too big hanging out there by themselves. I'd put the 7" sealed beams on it. The ones that DON'T have the marker lights on top like the 682Cs but the same style buckets. Dietz & King Bees used to be cool, but now they have that aftermarket cheap 1-800 streetrod feel to them.

    Those stock 32s are also big rock magnets. Have you priced the lenses lately? Fresh graveled pavement is everywhere in the summer.
