Projects 54 Bel Air Custom Tail Lights

If the 4 buckets are out of an older car it could look pretty cool. I was thinking about doing this with mine but kept the bench seats. I am with the rest of the posters here, it does not seem like the rectangular tailights flow very well with the rounded car. There are many other lighting options out there that someone probabally never thought of to put in one of these cars., keep in mind you are customizing a rounded car and trying to keep or better the flow not put a square peg in a round hole.

If you don't like the way they turn out undo it. Great thing about metal it can be replaced or repaired. You can always french them in and extend the points of the stock bezels. Throw some Lees Lenses in it. All in all less than 100 bucks if you play your cards right.

 

welcome to the hamb

 

Sorry, I just couldn't help it...LOL

 

what he said ^^

 

Everyone is entitled to my opinion

 

I can kinda see the look you were going for but those tail lights just aint it. They are too tall and square. Take a look at this one and also the link for some more custom ideas.

You got the right string man, but the wrong yo-yo....

 

That's HOT!! I liked that! It was funny.

 

I like that...but would love to have more height in the light. I do want to mold my tailpan like that though... I think that's gonna be my next project over this weekend.

 

Some body slap some sence in to this guy

 

You're sure right it is messy!! My wife gives me HELL about it everyday!! I'm at a good point in the project where it's time to pull the car out, clean out the garage and reverse the car back in their so I can pull the motor and drop the chassis so that I can finish the final welding.

 

They may not be hard to find on the West Coast or in the Mid-West but in Atlanta Georgia...they are hard as hell to fine unless you're buying them new and that being said the tail light repair panel.

 

I've seen this same treatment with two of the same lenses stacked so they looked like one piece, looked really good that way, something to consider. The lenses are available new fairly cheap and you clearly have the skills to make the sheetmetal surrounds from scratch.....

Parts are easy to find on the interwebs

 

Hey, I'm designing a new kitty cat... I think it looks MUCH better like this! What do y'all think?

'Nuff said.

 

That's funny!

 

This is by far the most ugly car I ever seen
