Thread: Headlight Options for 34 Plymouth

Tweet

A couple of points: the car could be a neat street car that would be a royal pain to drive....if you're into pain, it would fill the bill nicely and look cool. ADVISE: go to your state's rules on a car driven on the street. IGNORE all the advice about "my state" and only look at the official ALA rules. Some states may require a safety glass windshield for instance....mine may but yours may not. Zoomies may be OK and your state may have a noise law so, if you comply, your zoomies stay. Some states may have an emergency brake law....yours may not and mine may so IGNORE my state examples. ALABAMA is the rule you need to follow. Period.

For the headlights, they should not be mounted to the grille shell....they will shake like a pregnant nun if you do. A solution is to weld a vertical post to the frame on each side of the radiator inside the grille shell and mount the headlights THRU a hole in the grille shell. These posts can be sized to fit the available space and should be rigid enough to support the light in a stabile manner.

Good luck.

You're right. I was wanting to stay away from having to weld. I think this will be the proper method. The weld spot will be hid from view (I'm sure the paint won't match perfectly).

Sorry, mis-understood the last post and asked a dumb question. Best of luck in your quest.
