We knew going into it that since we had a custom wider radiator built for the car, and we moved the radiator forward to gain extra room, the stock hideaway headlights would not fit. The original headlight doors would pivot 90 degrees and sit beside the headlights when open. We re-designed the headlight door to slide behind the grille now and be operated off of actuators. (I'll get better pics of the mechanism once the header panel is removed in the next day or two.

The original headlight door is on the bottom, the new version is on the top.

Very cool mod on the headlight doors You guys always make these custom touches that look factory and you have to look twice to see the change. Great job:thumbsup:

We have the headlight doors just about completed. All of the tracks, supports, and actuators are in place and working properly.
