    im looking for a pair of chrome bullets,,,NOT the aftermarket ones you can buy at night prowlers, moon, etc,,,i'd like to find some that are approximately 4 inches or so (give or take) in diameter,,,,which cars had some "donor" bumper bullets, etc near that size?,,i know 53 merc had some on the front bumpers,,anybody know any other sources? i even thought of headlight buckets from a 30s car,,but i think most of those would be too large,,,,

    yeah i was going to suggest the headlight buckets. i've seen them used as ends for a grill. couldn't you just cut them off at whatever size you needed? not sure what your using them for. good luck, mike

    Dummy spots are too big? Seems like all the old articles I've read, that's what guys would use, spotlight housings turned around.

    '57 Chevs, chrome or aluminum aftermarket bullet end pieces for the front bumper...yeah, I know it ain't factory, but I'd think it's about the size you're looking for.
