When did this trend start? They look kinda dopey to me...Anybody got pictures of one that looks GOOD this way?
Here's an example of one that hurts my eyes... Looks like a cow catcher on a steam locomotive. Most aren't this Offensive, but they just really look "off" to me.
Yeah, that one is not flipped. I've seen a few flipped ones, usually also tucked in tight to the pan, sometimes with the ends shortened and flipped so they still follow the wheel opening. Supposed to give a rolled pan effect. Pretty sure it was done in the late 50's/early 60's already, some cars can pull it off and some don't.
I've seen it on early fifties custom Mercs. They thought it looked better I guess. On some cars, it does.
Most of those look ok to me. Off hand, I'd venture to say that if most folks can't tell, and it works great with your overall design, then you've been successful. Gary
Here's a trick I used on my 37,makes the car appear lower. It's in Michigan now. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App
53 Pontiac rears upside down are a must on 49=52 Chevies. Tuck in nice n tight. Check page 83 Photoshop to end all p/s thread. Sorry I don't know how to post it here. Maybe someone will help Cheers Rod
another one from several years ago. I think he did it because with the frame swap, it was easier to bolt it on that way, or something.
When you flipped it, did you fill in the license plate holes, then re-cut them into the bottom of the bumper? That sure looks right-side-up to me. Nice car either way.
The license plate slots make it look like it's upside down when it's not. Here's a Plymouth with flipped bumpers...
Any pics Mo ? I think that upside down bumpers and front bumpers on the rear and vice versa have been done throughout the years . Might just be that more n more people are trying it out Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
