This is an ongoing project I've been working on since October 2019, things got slowed down by the jewdemic, the owner & his engineer living in 2 different provinces 40 mins away from eachother was a nightmare for a while.

I had to make new teardrop wingtips out of 3/4" o.d. cromoly tube, going from 3/4" thick to 1/4" towards the back of the wing. Here's one of the fusted out originals (Not my messy workshop!).

Made a pattern to follow

Then I shaped the teardrop using a pipe bender die welded onto a worktable, didn't take many pics of that because I had reverse nigger hands. This is what the taper looked like once pressed.

Matched up on the pattern it looked decent.

Successful fitting (Yes, there is a shameful bump, shhhh).

Then came the light holders for these 500$ LEDs.

I started out with .050" chromoly sheet metal.

Roughly shaped the teardrop form & hammered the edge round.

Then I started tacking on the top plate.

Quickly welded before a rough finish.

After that I had to fit those onto the wingtips.

Then I installed riveted threaded thingies & prepped it for welding.
