I searched and didn't find much. I particularly like exhaust that it integrated with the bumper. Not really looking for side/lakes pipes but still welcome to show it off. The pic is what I have brewing. Stock bumper and filler panel. 53 I believe cadillac rear bumperettes, cut the tit off and run the exhaust thru there. Obviously not all trimmed and fit up yet. Gonna suck fitting the exhaust pipe but will be worth it. Let's see yours! Sent from my SM-G920R6 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
If I remember correctly, these were aftermarket accessory items, and finding replacements posed a major challenge to the restoration of the Clarence Patterson 1939 Ford.
I thought about that, but I like the exhaust exiting higher. I think flipping them upside down is the easy way out. Just my 2 cents Sent from my SM-G920R6 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
On my '56 Ford. I knew the car was gonna be low, and I didn't want to flatten the tailpipes on driveways:
The setup on that 56 Ford looks like it should have been that way to begin with. But then the whole car is right on the money for being a great looking mild custom. I'm not quite sure of what you are shooting at with that Quinton but I've seen a lot of rusted out and burned out bumpers where the exhaust was run though the bumper in one way shape or form from the factory 57 Olds and First generation T birds are two that come to mind right off.
Factory 56 Victoria and Crown Victoria rear bumpers were super slick right from the factory. (Pics stolen from google)
I'm curious how the exhaust is routed under some of these cars. On my 54 ford Victoria I would have to route it through several frame crossmember before it even gets to the bumper. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Bought these at the Jefferson swap a year or so ago, aftermarket bumper guards to run the exhaust through. They're typical quality of aftermarket accessories of the day (shitty), I have a Kaiser overrider guard that I am hoping I can cut the bottom half of these off of and weld them to the Kaiser guard so the exhaust will exit through the guard, like in one of the pics above but the exhaust will still be below the main bumper, just through the guard. Running exhaust up over the bumper pan might require the exhaust tubing to come up through the trunk pan to clear the rear frame crossmember. Interesting idea, check out the stock exhaust on a 55-56 Thunderbird, it exits through bumper guards above the bumper like you are planning.
Idea threads are great inspiration. Gotta get me a custom. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
