Front Tipping Hood Hinges Rat Rod Part 27

  • In this video the grill and hood come together on old crow. I design some cool front tipping hood hinges, which looks sweet and is a great way to service the motor, but I'm not feeling the headlights or placement. I still need to come up with something there. If you have any ideas on the lights, please leave a comment below! I also finish up some other loose ends, like painting the back deck lid and playing with a faux patina paint job out of a rattle can.

    Headlights are always hard to work with. Maybe some small rectangle lights, like off of a 2000ish Camaro. Build little bird cages on the front axle for the lights to sit in. I don’t know. Maybe cool, maybe not. My brain hurts as well 😆. The rest of the truck is awesome. I can’t wait to hear it run.

    Maybe mount the lights on the axle. I am (at 60 yrs old) building my first semi rat rod, a 50 Willys station wagon. It's fun coming up with ideas and trying to figure how to make those ideas actually work.

    Hey why don’t you try mounting them on the frame so they would be lower just a thought but i like your work keep it up

    Mount 6" off road light housings up by the windshield, like Spot Lights and swap the bulbs over to 80's BMW low beam bulbs. Leave to Headlights off of the front and grab some round 2" turn/ parking lights for a motorcycle up at the base of the hood below the hood molding. spots for headlights............

    On the hood put some cutouts in the front for air flow since that hood covers half the radiator. Like crows beaks or wings or something like that.
    And yes those headlights makes it look like a vw beetle, not good and not sure about where or size light placement would look best. Cool rod,

    Tilting hood is great maybe smaller headlamps will be proportionate or maybe even hidden behind new grill or for what it's worth a set of rectangular lamps just to be different 😁😁😁👍👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

  • @CaptainDestructo82
    @CaptainDestructo82 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Trucks looking great. My opinion on the lights is they’re too high not too big. If you could somehow get them lower I think it would help the look tremendously. Dig the channel keep up the good work.

  • @RatRodBobBuilds
    @RatRodBobBuilds 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice work on the tilt hood and that grill is awesome. Not a lot of options for the headlights with the cantilevers. Like you said .. smaller lights and get em as low as possible. Avoid mounting them on the axle or spindle because that will shake them to pieces. My 2 cents.

    Hey Tony! If it were my truck, I would have used a 12v trunk release button, with a spring loaded latch. Love the grille idea, but maybe saw tooth the leading edges? What about mounting the headlights to the front axle? Either way, it's getting closer to the epic burnout!!!

    • @thebs6085
      @thebs6085 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah! Great grill and hood!
      Why not mount the lights down pretty low...maybe to the steering knuckle? Makes some old-school curve lights, harhar.

  • @smkngreene
    @smkngreene 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The headlights need to be smaller or lower. If they were down near the front axle the size would be fine

    Honestly man I would leave lights just like that. How could it be a rat rod if there's no big lamps staring at you? Also love the board idea 💡, that's a perfect idea of ingenuity! Keep up the good work. One more thing I wanted to know is, how did you get your wife into rat rods. I've tried explaining and showing girlfriends this stuff and they all think I'm nuts

    Headlights from the 30s? More sleeker look! Would go super good with all the slant lines you got going on with your hood, cab, frame. Kick that idea around for a bit. Maybe, maybe not?

  • @chuckster6513
    @chuckster6513 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, the head lights are TOO big.
    Maybe if you had a pair from an old GM car where the lite was at the front of a long tapering tube that was like embeded into the fender.
    Or in this situation the sides of the hood.
    Dats my idea an I'm stickin to it !
