slanting headlamp assembly a lil further in

i was thinking. i love the way our head lamp assemblys with a round head lamps slant inward at the bottom. it gives it that muscle car look like the Riviera's inverted grill or the BMWs 80s style slanted grill head lamp assembly. love the look, im not talk about over doing it though. just maybe a half inch more. can this be done? some ideas and examples

Re: slanting headlamp assembly a lil further in

On a 70s maybe. The bumper need to be pulled in the fender needs to be slant cut to match the bezels and core support and other musc stuff needs to be cut and re welded.
The gaps will not be quite right on everything since an angle inside a square is longer then the edges of a square. Basicly meaning that by angling things they need to be longer as well

im just talking about the bezels, i might just put some washers between core support and grill assembly so it will push out on top.
