Guard cutout  for coronet fender signal

decided not to use the fiberglass buckets  drove me nuts to try and tidy up the fiberglass  and  have gone with sheetmetal ones .

[remta1]

mock ups using sheet metal .Ihave had to use a single headlight system to get thru compliance , I may change once thru compliance, but am getting used to the look of the single ...you only need it at night anyway

[remta1]

the actuator system is from a Honda prelude with pop up headlights they are dime a dozen over here .The whole system I took out of the prelude included the buckets light pods actuators and motors adjusters and wiring etc .

The whole lot cost me $50 bucks ...mock ups for motor mountings

[remta1]

bucket motors and pivots are fully adjustable both manually and electronically , and the light buckets pop up and down super quick  because I am not using z braces the whole set up is a lot lighter and I have better air circulation for cooling etc

[remta1]

 

[remta1]

.buckets look a bit crude until tidied up , managed to get the parking lenses cheap  the whole nose set up wired in and ready to mount

looking great some good an creative work on your mulebird.  when you talked of the complance stuff,inner fender structure an light podes or base. i was thinking you had to use stock lite base.even first pixs with nose mount i was thinking stock lite mount wood work an look great with drop down lite doors or move lite doors up a inch or two an keep the stock fixed lite local. me personally one of my dislikes is the bug eyed pop up lites on any car,think they are way odd on a streamline aero wing car, :Twocents:sorry just my feeling on bug eye look.

    but totally love the 69 base idea an way its coming together.will enjoy following ya build and all pixs shared here. thanks an MERRY CHRISTMAS AN HAPPY HOLIDAYs IN ZZZZZ-LAND.

    PLEASE DONt  vacation too long ,as some of us are glued too wing car builds an very bored without  our regular updates an mopar fix,iam a mopar addict,i addmit it, having wing withdrawal,,,ho ho ho.love UR 69 bird.

time to attack the interior ....floors are super clean absolutely no holes

[remta1]

[remta1]

rustproofed the floors and chipguarded the floors ( chipguard is normally used underneath the car) ..makes a very good sound deadener....

[djcarguy]

okay , so the bulk of the stuff on the car has been addressed now for the rear fender scoops .Tried unsuccessfully to recreate the factory ones and then decided to go to the extreme.1.KICKASS BIG WING 2.KICKASS BIG NOSE CONE 3.KICK ASS SIDE SCOOPS ?

Only my own opinion but I really like these scoops on my particular car ...after all it is a mule car and everything was experimental
