That'd be cool but probably not legal...

I see you have a selection of Classis Chevy bright ware.
Amazing how well it adapts, will have people guessing for ages

Have not seen that headlight treatment since the 70's
How are you going with the bumper choices

I always look forward to your updates

Very cool Harko. Are those headlight rims 55.

I see you have thinned out the vertical piece of front guard alongside the grille

That is the one unattractive part of a FB or EK IMHO.
It just doesn't flow with anything.
I think GMH designers tried to cover it on the EK's with the blinker assembly.

Have you looked at 50's buick's, packards, oldsmobiles for bumper ideas!
I think it would be better to pick a bumper of a less desirable / more uncommon model,
it will be much harder for most to guess where it came from

Keep the ideas coming Harko

lookin good

Cheers

Good one thommo ,I hadnt thought any more about it ,only that I want to thicken it upwards and give it some flow ..... Ill be following that lead "Oldsmobile trim is whats going into it so an oldsmobile bumper should match perfectly

" and OLDSMOBILE is just cool to say

Wow didn't pick it at first!!! To busy looking at the headlight..... way cool.

I once entertained the thought of an Olds style bumper on my ol heap by using two early model celica bumpers, one upside down over the other. Never scrounged any up to see if it would work tho.
