That'd be cool but probably not legal...SunnyTim wrote:you could just do the flashing red stop light like in some FC's?

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

Ill be following that lead "Oldsmobile trim is whats going into it so an oldsmobile bumper should match perfectlyTHOMMO wrote:I see you have thinned out the vertical piece of front guard alongside the grille

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.
