I’m not planning on going crazy on the bucket.
I want to do simple that do the job right.

Just to clarify. I think the way the edges on the lens now look great. It just looked to me at some angles that they have a little unsmoothness in them.

I tried to vacuum mold some plexiglass over the stock head light covers and it turned out quite well, and the edges where the plexiglass folds over the covers was nice(could've been nicer with a more powerful vacuum) it was just like the further away from the lens surface started to "wave" as it was stretched and did not have anything to press against.

I guess it's hard to explain without being there, or maybe you know what I'm talking about.

Very little progress today
Even if I’m not done on the cover, I’ve been thinking about the bucket and did few attempts and the result doesn’t even worth a picture.

But, I have more idea and will try to work on it this week as well as (hopefully) finishing the cover.
Also waiting on pictures and drawing from few members on different forums.
Thanks

I finally did some work on the headlight project today.
First, the lights are not as bad as I thought, but I didn’t try them yet.

Second, I believe that the right cover is good to go.
No pics to show simply because I’m out of plexiglass, I will try to go buy some this week.
The left one should be fast to do since I know what I have to do.

No change on the bucket, I still thing that I found how to do it, just need more time to build it.

Thanks

Now, it is not perfect but it is a lot better.

No more progress on the bucket but the right side cover is looking good and the left side is almost ready too.
Please let me know your impression.
On the first pics, the flash really shows the bend.

Thanks

If you have a 'factory seconds' version, say, sets made leading up to the final ones, and the fit and finish isn't perfect, I'd be interested in a set. My usage is for the CGT car I'm building and it's going to be mainly for the track.

Very sexy. Looks like I'll have to try that next on my vacuum forming machine. I think I'll do some tinited bronze to see if it matches my dark metalic charcoal gray paint. That would look sexy!
