Next attach the rings to the finished painted bucket. Make sure you attach the rings first before you mount either projector if you don't then your projector bulb will either be mounted too high, low or stick to far out or in.

After you get the rigs mounted attach your projector housing and brackets to the buckets (make sure the word TOP is to the top of the headlight bucket and the adjusters are accessible with the 12mm wrench so they can be adjusted).

Here are some final pictures of my buckets without the glass installed. The only 2 things I am going to do is run a bead of silicone around the back side of the opening around where the projector goes through the bucket to seal the leans and I am planning on having a local tint shop install 50% tint on the inside of my glass leans to keep out UV rays on the paint and give it that slightly darker look but not too excessive. Lastly urethane the glass down on the bucket with windshield urethane and install!

Hope this helps anyone... I know there are 1,000 different ways to do this and this is only the way I did it

Next I went to Autozone and bought a set of reflectors (Blazer was the brand). This doesn't matter where get them, you can use the factory ones off of the Fiero or anything, all they do is Panel Bond to the eyebrow piece and after it sets just trim off the access lens with a Dremal.

The next step was to order some plastic test tubes that will fit the circle opening on the brow. All you need to do with them is cut them slide them in place and panel bond them and the Brows are done. (MAKE SURE YOU FINAL PAINT THEM BEFORE THIS STEP!)

This is what the Brows look like finished..

First I went to the Pic N Pull salvage and got a view of the twist in lights that are used in a wide variety of vehicles (mine are from a late 90's chevy truck, Similar to the 2000's dodge trucks also)

I ordered all LED lighting off of eBay. These will be for the parking light and the side marker lights on the bumper (http://www.ebay.com/itm/280680281826?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649). The other set will be used in the signal area where the round tube looking thing is (http://www.ebay.com/itm/331056995801?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) I wanted them to be nice and bright!

Next I drilled holes in the buckets and used a Dremal tool to make little ears for the bulb sockets to push and twist in like factory.

Ive been off the car for a month or so and I have just been getting caught up on the small things. I decided to redo my headlight buckets. I wanted them to be one whole unit like OEM. Here is a little build on how I did them.

[usmc_butler]

In the beginning I had 2 issues one was my struts were too short and my front hinges were mounted too low. Both issues are now resolved, I will post some updated pictures of the doors in the next week.

[rodrieguz]

Dustin,

Does your door lift higher than that?  The way the pics look the access of entry is limites because the doors aren't opened all the way up.  The corner of the windshield should be relatively close to the middle of the  door lower portion.  If that makes sense?

[usmc_butler]

Jim I always take your advice you give me to heart and I think you for taking the time to let me know when things I do are questionable. In this situation the front hinge has been set for a year now and the gas strut is set and braced also has been done for some time now, long before I installed the body this last time. The rear latch plate is accessible once the hole is cut in the door jam where it is marked, everything has been mocked up and worked before I don't see why it wouldn't work again since nothing has changed theoretically other the the body is attached now. But thank you for you concern sir, always appreciate your advice.

Most everyone agrees that the doors are the bigest headache in the build for good reason.  Alignment, alignment, alignment.  Here are a few things to consider: Hinge support alignment and welding, strut mount on the front fender leg, outer door skin clearing the front fender when opening the door, and striker support reinforcement.  Hope that it works out well for you.  Let is know how your way goes.  Jim
