Frenching Headlights on a Traditional Custom

In this video Phillip Avila (@layed____) tries his hand at frenching the headlights on this traditional custom, a '49 Merc. It's a process that might seem simple at first, but the more you pay attention the more you realize the true craftsmanship that goes into this process.

Always wondered how you replace headlights on a frenched car

A guy I used to work with in the early 80s showed me an easier way to get the curved shapes needed without all the equipment used in this video.

Oh interesting! There are lots of ways to get it done, but how did he do it?
