smoky forge
#

#

#

for the rear and front

#

@lofty orchid u just saved me

lofty orchid
#

im good at finding parts

#

Its all there, the entire kit and more

smoky forge
#

Yeah im stoked

#

Now i can do what i wanted to

#

Ive got this really wicked idea for a 1990 vette, its all coming together

#

I wanted to use these headlights (removes flip up function) and have a few body kits based around it

#

and i found the guy that makes them (corvette forum user) but he last posted 11 years ago so hes probably dead now

#

so now i just need to find a place that will custom make them based off of pictures from it

#

Those can be 3D printed easily

#

#

Oh i know

#

i just dont know how i would wire the lights

lofty orchid
#

thats easy too

#

i could easily make those lights

#

I would just buy some projectors and make the 3D design to fit those inside the pod that fits the corvette

smoky forge
#

yeah but my only concern would be, am i gonna be able to lift the hood up properly lol

#

it being a clam shell is like the only thing that is saving the non pop up idea

#

id have to make sure the headlight cord is long enough, so if it isnt id have to find ones that are and replace them

lofty orchid
#

Thats easy enough. wiring is extendible and i can make the entire housing for the lights so it mounts like factory

#

That would be sick, i think when i get my 1990 corvette ill start measuring up the model and learn some basic model making so i can try making prototypes for this, i have a 3d printer already i just gotta learn 3d modelling and get the vette (ill be getting it in a few months if all goes well)

lofty orchid
#

3D printing, scanning and prototying is what i specialize in. I make things out of exotic materials like carbon fiber and nylonx... i make a lot of prototype car parts

smoky forge
#

Oh okay thats perfect, lucky that your the one that seen my post lol

#

do u have access to a c4 corvette? for measuring and testing

lofty orchid

#

The guy actually even posted what they are made out of

lofty orchid
#

i have a friend with a C4 vette

smoky forge
lofty orchid
#

like i said, i can do it

smoky forge
#

well ill definitely keep you name wrote down then

smoky forge
#

@lofty orchid

#

so i did some ai generating and i found a variation of the non pup ups that might look even better

#

Ignore the rest of the car, and look at the headlights
