49-52 chevy tail light ideas???

I am looking for some cool taillight ideas for this car. Something different. Preferably not LED, but it can be something that I have to really fabricate. I was thinking either something real simple, but cl***y; or something crazy like taillights shaped like trucker girls, or an upright b***, etc. I just cant seem to decide.

Any ideas?? feel free to photochop if you can...

 

ttt anything guys?

 

Only had one cuppa, but..

 

I`v always liked the bumperguard lucite things you make yourself.

 

couple of ideas.. I have a 49. I got these bubble lenses from Gene Winfield. they are the approximate size and shape of a 39 ford lens, but not so pointy. I tunnelled them in about an inch, and there is a bit of a flair at the outside. I don't have a good picture. I'll see what I can come up with.

another cool looking alternative is to french your stock 52 lenses... maybe a bit lower than the original spot.

 

55 Caddy. nuff said.

 

go to Ecklers.com and look up 58-60 'vette tail lights. I wanted to use a set on my '49 chev truck, but i can't afford $700 for tail lights. I think they would look good as they are flush mounted, and would not upset the flow of the car.
just my $.02

 

no good pics... here's 3 crummy ones

 

frenched 50 ford tailights look cool.

 

I think the car looks nice like that. get a pair of these retractible license plate thingys, or make them yourself, and mount lights on them, so they pop down below the bumper when you're driving

 

I have a pr. of 64 Valiant tailights that would different..I'n not sure how to post the pics. on this thread but if you click on the f/s search for (Valiant tailights) they come right up...

 

check out some Tail lights from a Triumph bike or something like that. since bike lights are smaller. they might look bad*** on er.

 

WOW! I like that. Care to share the story with us on you did that project? It really looks natural. Great Job! Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy

 

41 Stude are looking nice on a chev'!

 

B-31 Guide backup lights with '41 Plymouth stoplight lenses, mounted on outer ends of gravel pan. Bulb sockets require dual element conversion ...

 

Just a guy on another site. Not me, I wish it was, but not me.

 

I had the idea of just putting a couple small rectangle brakelights in the rear window. That way I could leave the rear end smooth.

 

50 olds--just the lens---joe

 

Even turned vertically!

 

54 mercs with all ribs, those caddys look cool but u need the swoop

 

I bought a pair of 49-50? DeSoto taillights that look like they'll ride the curves of the fender without a lot of fabrication... but I might want something a little more wild, or maybe even a little bit understated... and then I got to thinking crazy ... I've got this pair of 68 Charger taillights that have been staring me in the face for months. I've kind of played around the idea of mounting those somehow ... crazy, I know.

 

yeah I agree, those would look cool on a 49-50. I havent seen anyone do it yet. I was going to do it on my 50 but Ima sell the car...
$700!!, theres always eGay.

 

How about 61 dodge wagon lights??????....make a kool kustom look......stan

 

Here you go...
Kaiser Frazer 1951. good luck finding them

 

oooh.. the purpley blue car is cool. never seen a chevy with that side trim before... always like the pontiac beltline trim.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

 

those frazier tailllights look killer. seen them on a 49 fastback built by OZ customs.

 

...

 

wtf??

 

Here's a few tailight ideas for ya.

 

my vote goes for 52 buick either frenched in or put in at a cool angle (45 degree V shape or sideways) lenses can be had and i dont think finding or fabing a backing support would be hard..
creepy
