Front turn signal ideas

[FATnLOW]

I was looking at my front fenders and trying to visualized turn signals on / in the fenders or where ever they  would look and work good...........can I  get some photos of your turn signals....thanks

Ed I haven't got that far yet, but I'm looking for a set of these(pic 1), they sell them in chrome and unpainted.  I will be mounting them on the bottom side of the headlamp bucket (instead of the normal top mount).

Did you bring in your Brass Monkey? It's suppose to get damn cold this weekend. They are talking high tomorrow 8-10° and a low sat night of -7°  air temp, wind chill will be really low

I remember those lights ..like on top of the old truck cabs and on fenders..yeah buddy 60's today and -7 to -15 up coming this  weekend went out and split some wood in case we lose power..got the wood burning stove ready if needed....Stay warm and keep out of the cold

You can get aacturate representation of those lights complete from the OTB company, or a little different design from speedway. I usually use these styles. I dont like the idea of cold weather.

I know this probably isn't what you're looking for but mine are in the headlights.  Just another option if someone else is looking.  Here's some pics.

Tom that is a very clean solution. I'd try to stay away from fender mounting, just me. There might be a place near the grill that would be OK. Behind the grill insert would mostly hide them. The head lights I'm using for my roadster had the kind that Sammons showed but someone removed them. My lights must have been radiator shell mounted to put the lights on top or bottom. The way I'll mount them will either put them to the inside or outside to be decided later. I'll have to order a repo set of the painted ones. These are the kinds of details that must be carefully worked out. We've all seen examples of poor choices that ruin the looks of an otherwise nice build.

I have seen guys use small rectangular motorcycle directionals mounted under the head lights.

That's what I used, except I mounted mine on the frame rails under the fenders  close to the bumper mounting holes

 ...getting a variety of ideas..thanks for you input..... I'm  Toying with the idea of putting turn signals in the bumper if I can find the right donor units

THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE MADE BY "GUIDE" AND WERE USED ON A LOT OF TRUCKS AFTER 1937.  DIAMOND RIO
ECT ECT.  YOU CAN STILL FIND THEM IN WRECKING YARDS THAT HAVE A LOT OF 30'S--40'S TRUCKS.

I HAVE A PAIR ON MY 35 COUPE THAT I PUT ON THERE IN 1970 AND LATER CHANGED THE SEALED BEAMS TO BOSCH H4 HALOGENS.  A FEW YEARS AGO THEY STARTED APPEARING ON EBAY AND WERE GETTING UPWARDS OF $600 FOR A PAIR.  NOW SOMEBODY REPODUCES THEM FOR A LOT LESS.

YOU CAN SOMETIMES FIND THESE NOS FROM PEOPLE DEALING IN MILITARY VEHICLE PARTS IN THAT DULL OLIVE DRAB COLOUR.

Re signal lights............if you look at the old Harley dresser type bikes loaded with bags and lights.  They used a very small almost headlight style looking running light.  These came with clear lenses and also red lenses for tail lights.

I use the red lenses style mounted to the sides of my luggage rack and painted black as 3rd tail lights, brake only.

here is a few examples I found on ebay
