FASPEC British Parts Portland Oregon

Well, though I think I saw another one done like this, this appears to be the same car posted by Trevor. I had these on my old web site about 12 years ago. Badge says "Mel Fowbus Special".

If you look closely, you'll see a modification to the doors as well.

Thanks Gerard, that's interesting but I like the Walker better.
Think it's possible to get the Lexan light covers by themselves? That would give a great starting point for the cutouts.

The Walker is my personal favorite, so no argument from me. Tom sells the Lexan covers as optional, but not sure if he sells them without the bonnet purchase. I talk to him occasinally and can ask or you can just email him.

"Lexan headlamp covers in clear or smoked are optional."
 
Thanks again, I did email him but so far no reply.
Realized that the first email was a reply to one of his older replies to me about something else so I reformed it with a new more relevant subject line.
Maybe he will have time to answer me this week.
 
Tom responded, hasn't made a Walker in a while and doesn't know for sure if he has any light covers or where they might be.
Anyone know how to make something like that?
 
I'd think a wooden buck and heat, but I'm not sure how it would affect the light beam.
 
Thinking about it, I will have to cut out a part of the curved fender area which would serve as a pattern for the light cover.
Something to ponder, if I got the pattern just right before cutting then the curved portion of the fender that I cut out could serve as a pattern for the light cover.
I'd want the cover to have the same curved shape and size as the fender part it replaces.
