Who Here Likes Bumperette Taillights? I Sure Do!!

I have always wanted different taillights on my Plymouth but could never find something thats just right until...
I found a complete 1956 DeSoto grill including the turnsignal pods which are perfect for bumperette tailights.
With some quick modifications this is where I'm at;




I'm really liking the way the rear is coming together. I hope I finish this damn car soon.

i think they look great!!!! a buddy of mine did something similar to his 51 merc.

 

KILLER JOB MAN! its details like this that make the car. again, killer job.

 

Here's mine...

 

is that your shoebox in the drive also?!? im digging the flames!!! heck the merc is killer too......heck im going to come over to your house and hang out!!!

 

BadBob,

You're the ****!!

those all look awesome.

 

badbob, you have any more pics of that green hardtop 53/4? and ******, those look great! can I have the rest of the grill?

 

That is the 51 Shoebox I traded the 68 Impala for. Flynstone built it. I sold it to a guy here on the HAMB and he painted it ALL gloss grey,without doing any bodywork! I think I have a pic.

 

Lights look cool. I'd like to see the rest of it. Thanks, BOBBY FORD

 

Here's what it looks like now. He ****ed it up! He should have just put the door tops on and installed the gl*** and left it alone...It's hard to tell,but you can see all the dents and waves that were hidden behind the flames and the flat black paint.

 

That grill with one gold tooth looks like some of the folks I know here in Alabama. LOL

 

Great pics! Love bumperette tail lights!

 

Here's a few pic's of what it looked like before...

 

It wasn't perfect,but it was cool...

 

The dash was the best part...

 

Yep,Lucky,one more...

 

I won't tell you what it's called,LOL!!!

 

what could I do different with this? since we're on the topic off bumperettes. would I be able to change the rear off this?

 

Yea,but it would take alot of work. Remove the tailights and round off the tops,similar to a 51 Merc. Then put some kind of lights in your bumpergaurds. I have a pic of something,sort of. Not the lights,but the fenders.

 

yeah! the top off the rear of my car is a little heavy look in the back. that is one area Im really considering on changing! BTT your plymouth looks fricken sweet!
