[DeTomaso] stationary head lights

[michael frazier]

I would think the Breathless Performance parts would rise above the fender line in streamlined covers like those of the C5R Corvettes.
They do several parts from vacu-formed plastic.  I don't see much need for this as the lights are up when it's DARK.  I also like the light
output from the big round Marchal units I used to use.  I say this while the current car has the VaderPantera Performance headlight kit installed .....when I bought it.

I would suspect that the original cut in the fender may offer sufficient vertical extent for a modern light. One option might be to trim the leading edge of the cut parallel to the nose of the car to get a little more vertical extend.> > I think Goran has something like this, it would be good to ask him how well his works.> > Ken> > JDeRyke at aol.com wrote:> In a message dated 5/8/08 12:39:02 AM, dyogi at hawaii.rr.com writes:> snip....> > One of our members is looking into putting stationary head lights on his > > Pantera. > > > Note that of the few that have done this mod in the past, to get adequate > lighting distances at night from the rather small available space on a Pantera > and using road-legal lights, it was found necessary to cut the fenders from the > front of the headlight buckets down to the break-point of the front of each > fender.
