I still haven't received the clear headlights. Customs clearance seems to be an impediment and take longer than I thought it would.

A bit of progress. I've started on the shroud prototype for the projector. Took delivery of the AL 6061 T6 billet stocks at 19:00 and had to spin one of them on the lathe that same evening! The high pitch and regular techno beats those machines makes is excellent for relaxation

Here goes a few shots... classic entertainer

Here goes the shroud, unfinished. Still got to write a few gcode lines and off to the 4th axis!
