Front conversion advise

[RallyLanciaWannabe]

I got the top band From Monte Hospital, a number of different grill choices and the headlight buckets and bezels from Midwest Bayless.
Now advice on putting it all together.
Am I missing anything?
I know some fabrication is involved in securing the buckets.
Any input is appropriated

I like the orginal flip up lights, very distinctive and a fun conversation piece.

Looks like you have enough to start the process. This is my set up

Personally I'm a fan of the top grille and the dual light conversion.

Here are two of my cars. Some cutting is required.

Dean, thank you so much! Your reference points are going to be a tremendous help. I knew I had to do some fabrication but was not sure the extent.

I’m about to go the same conversion in my series one- lights are now mounted onto fabricated backing plates and I’ve used Wipac headlight rings and bowls for main beam units, although I’m using BMW E30 facelift projector dipped beam and oem e30 main beam units!

I see the bracket on the top of the light pods but not on the bottom is a bracket fabricated on the bottom as well?

if you're converting, is your original usa nose band unbroken?

 

[davidb]

I admire people, REALLY ADMIRE people who go thru the misery of
converting Scorpion noses. To quad or wide dual headlamps.
Either look much better than single Scorpion nose lamps. But.
Beyond my level of patience. Plus what TMH charges for the
conversion parts! Don’t misunderstand - it’s great that the parts
are available. When I get around to my Scorps nose . . . I’m
gonna stick w/the factory single headlamps w/motor. I’m lazy.

Yes it’s all unbroken

 

[mikeroten]

Yes it’s all unbroken

Interested in selling? Mine has a bracket clean broken off on one side and the center one appears to have been repaired.

I don't know David, but the single headlamps are pretty rare these days and IMHO better looking than grafted on 4 light systems.

Not too bad
