I decided to fit early 60's VW Beetle headlights on the 1939 Hudson Rat Rod/Hot Rod. We look at everything that is involved to make it work. From determining the correct installation angle and making simple headlight buckets from scratch, to manipulating old steel to make for a decent fit.

Thanks for the support and sponsorship from Mesco Engineering Supplies.
