Also check out the cut down hood and raised tube fenders I'll be borrowing design cues from in a few years...
To keep the turn signals on the cheap and easy you could mount some small ones in the upper corners of the outer grille slats. No hole cutting, keep the stock headlights, simple flat brackets and some sheetmetal screws. Just an idea.
I just ordered two pairs of those little ones and I think I'm going to put one pair up on the hood as you see there, and figure out where to put the other pair. Probably toss them in a temporary spot on the fenders that'll get cut off, until I get tube fenders then I'll just toss them onto the gusset or into the tubes themselves. Or, if I go with highline fenders at the same time, I'll just toss both up on the hood on the part that'll be cut off, then move one up higher, and one down to the fender.
I went by Power and Transmission today but the guy didn't seem to really care about selling anything...he just sat there staring at the light board waiting for me to ask questions. He wasn't willing to look up any lights that weren't on display that they might have or be able to order, and just seemed uninterested overall. I DID buy a replacement bulb for my daylighter though, so that's cool. I'll wire them back up when I do the LEDs. That just leaves rewiring and plumbing the air compressor, installing the winch control panel, installing the driver's side Ujoint and getting two new Unit bearings before I leave for Livengood.
