changed taillights on my chevy

I belive it was Dane, who asked me for some pics. On how I did my new taillights in my chevy. I start out with welding rod and masking tape to get the right location, and a feel for the shape and placement. I didn't have a original bucket for these lights, just bezels and lenses. So I made a small lip where the bezel was going to sit, ,tacked some temporary supports, then made the bigger panels to blend the shapes together. Hope this helps. I have to thank Lee Pratt for turning me on to the lights!

They look great!!

 

Who would have thought that 49 Buick tailights upside down would look so good on a Chevy.

 

Very cool (but I'm biased as seen below! ). I saw those on Rikster's site the other night. I'm doing something very similar, but in a different way on my Fleetline:

fabianvaldez- What is the rear bumper off of ????

 

Nice. I'm sort of particular on custom work but that is nice.

 

looks great! how about a picture of that bumper and tailpipes thru it. what's the bumper off of? looks kinda like my '52 packard bumper i narrowed for my shoebox. thanks, mike

 

That looks REALLY good. I never would have thought of those lights. Awesome.

 

looks good. bumper?

 

Thanks guys, the bumper is a 54' packard clipper. I removed all the extra crap, filled the holes, narrowed it about 4 inches, and made the exhaust tips. This is the best shot I have of the bumper at the moment.
