- - 69 firebird update (https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14804)

Just to update, really hard at in now on the bird. Just finishing up another bird, ford tbird.
Working on headlights:
Pulled our first good parts. The halo parts fit right in place as well as turn signal lens.
It will have a lexan front after installed.
I am trying to decide if I should paint the inside of the headlight body color like corvettes or flat black. What do you think? The rings will look much bigger after they are painted chrome regardless of what color I paint the rest.

Making all the lights fit behind and be adjustable means I need to make a form and mold off of the back side that will hold the parts and seal up. So this is me making the buck for that.

I made my door panels and they turned out great. If you have the Tiger cage roll bar then your deluxe door panels wont clear. These look almost stock and we made the arm rest clear the roll cage.
