    No I don't think they are the same. As you can see the grille don't have the parking lights going around the fender corners on the white one. There are also some other differences, but they could of course have been redone after that. Thanks for the tip anyhow

    HEY HEY

    Congrats on bringing home a cool car.
    Definately not to dificult to find a 216 Chevy around here :) :) :).
    A friend of mine looked for a 235 to Hop Up a couple of years ago and he found several 216's before the right 235 showed up.

    Here's a small update on the chevy. The car will be inspected for registration May the 19th, and I still have a couple of things to fix in order to make it legal in Norway. One of the things I have to fix is directional signals in the rear. I have thought about maybe replacing the reflectors in the taillights by small directional lights. So if anyone knows about a little red light that would fit I would like to know where I can get them. I'm also looking for a 6V relay that I can use to turn off each of the brake lights when I'm using the directional light, as that is my second option... anyone knows where I can get that?

    Very cool car love the grill
     
  19. While both of them have a '54 Pontiac main bar, the upper surround on this one looks like possibly filled '52 Buick (they have cast in lettering) - has a peak and wraps around the fenders - the one on the formerly purple car is dead flat across the top and as mentioned, has those park lights tacked on.
