1951 f1 grill Mod - Cheap Freched headlight
the old 51 headlight buckets need some cleaning
Cleaned up buckets ready to use
My grill stripped down
Empty shell to trace flange
Flanged pattern made and cut to test
test pattern, transfer pattern to metal and cut out
metal flange lowered and held in place with all thread using existing holes on original flange. Tabs welded on the new flange to support it and before removing original flange.
Checked fit, was happy with the out come.
Both sides done, but still waiting on some items and waiting to fabricate the mounting panels for the grill since the buckets are pushed back. I will fabricate covers for the back side.
