Alright all you Rockstars which "Lee Tail light lenses" are the coolest for a '54? The Flat lens or the Bubble lens? Thanks for the input!!
I'm not a "Rockstar" but did install the bubble lights in my Studebaker ..... They look good but they sure don't show up well and I've gone back to giving arm signals so I don't get smacked in the back end.
Bubbles, I wanted to do something more custom to my 54 but it's hard to beat the stock trim with a bubble. Same dilemma I'm having with the front, hard to do anything different to a 54 chevy front end without screwing it up.
Ron<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_4083631", true); </SCRIPT> Where can you find the winfield lenses? Can you see them at a web site?
I just did a Google search and found nothin' about Mr. Winfield's lenses. So I don't know. I hope RON will give us some more info.
I also did a bunch of searches for winfieldcustoms with the gene and without and could not find anything before my last post, Any help with that would be cool ! what about Mooneyes ,Do they sell them? I'll check their site and see what they carry...
Thanks, That would be great!!! Let me know if you find anything. I did see some of his taillights on some of his custom cars. The look of the material the lenses were made out looked really cool. But no place to buy them or any on a '54 chevy.
mine are the Lee's deep bubble lens. I think the Gene Winfield lenses look better, Gene's lenses are 2 piece, a red bubble lens with a separate clear prism-reflector. the plastic Lee's lenses are one piece with the prism-reflector on the inside of the lens. the problem is the outside surface of the Lees lens is bumpy out of the box, I sanded my lenses smooth and polished them to remove the bumps. the flatter lens can be too close to the taillight bulbs and have a tendency to melt the lens.
This was the web page http://www.winfieldcustoms.com but seems to not be working now try this Winfield's Rod & Custom Construction 8201 Sierra Highway Mojave, CA 93501 (661) 824-4728
skyrodder just call his shop... Gene might even answer the phone .... Man you are a wealth of information ! If I had the Phone number don't you think that I would have called him ? DO YOU HAVE THE TELEPHONE NUMBER ? OR did you just want to up your post numbers ? Anyone out their in HAMB land have the phone number for Mr Winfield shop OR a web address?
Gene's shop# 661 824 4728 I only wrote this cause I'm worried my post count is so tiny and I don't want to be picked on by the popular kids. Trout
not sure what brand tails i picked up but they are 2 piece smooth bubble type that was described earlier. i got them from night prowlers for my merc...if i'm not mistaken i saw that they had a couple other applications also. they seem to be pretty good quality, i haven't put them in yet . if you want i can post a pic later, let me know.
Look at post #14 ***** I have called Gene for products before... you can also pm Hail Satin or Gene Winfield Rod&Custom here on the HAMB... LOL up my post numbers? Your funny, I have a life buddy...
