So while waiting on a few things for the big upgrade i have planned here soon i decided to shift focus and see what i can do about the headlights on this car. So it is a custom S but i dont care for the chrome bumper and decided to add the gto bumper with hideaway headlights. I got the "custom S" badge mounted in the grill where the "gto" badge would normally. With my engine i don't have a lot of vacuum and don't want to mess with all of the vacuum pods on the hideaway set up so i decided im going to make them electric. Luckily being a pontiac fan i just happen to have a 4th gen firebird parts car so i decided to fit the motors and controller onto the bumper. Mocked up a bracket and i may have to tweek the arm off the motor but in initial test fit was very promising. They open and clos(though they stop just shy of fully opening by about an 1" so ive still got to do some adjustments. Over happy with it and wont need to mess with any of the vacuum stuff now.
