Head Light Assembly

[muddog16]

I've knocked headlight assembly's around now for several months, I finally decided to make my own after pricing them!   I made a trip to Lowe's and bought two 24"x24" 16 gauge carbon steel plates and 1 1/2" x 1/8" bar!  I sheared the plate then bent the main body cut the end plate and welded it in!  The bar stock will be the trim around the housing,  the headlights came from Kenworth!   I'm going to send the housing off to be chromed!  It only took about 4 hours to make this first assembly.....I'm satisfied!  I'll end up having less than half what I would have paid for!   Here are a couple of photo's:

Well, I do have a few tools.......shear and a brake, but I'm sure I could always use more!  Thanks for the comments........Steve is a master, anyone that can do what he has in his backyard is my hero!

Wow!! That's really nice work. They will look great after they are chromed (not that they don't look great now).
