Great thinking Michael.

You know I love the "make it up as you go along" design ethos once you have a vision of where you are headed.

Now here's a bit of sideways thinking from your original design.
Would the mechanism from a Mazda Miata MX5 pop up headlight unit with some slight mods also be able to give you the same effect if you shortened the actuating lever to double or increase the radius of travel?

Thanks for the process tutorial.
