Ah, I hear ya. I hope the headlight brackets are OK... I still think my **** looks silly from one of my bent headlight brackets. You've undertaken a huge project IMO, and it's looking good man for sure.

Thanks guys. One of the headlight brackets was crushed. I had to weld in a new one so the headlight needs adjusting. I have to get a high beam before I can do that. For some reason I only bought a set of low beams.

I've been driving the car short distances for now. I learned my lesson the hard way. I did a lot of work to my DeLorean and then drove her to work without a break in period. That's when I snapped the alternator/water pump belt, nearly overheated the engine, and ruined 500 dollars worth of fuel injectors.
