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! Fabian
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: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=354123
that rules. was so rad to see that chevy back out! keep plugging away at it. why dont you make a post about building a car to race at bonneville in 7 weeks.
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
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. Fabian
