Projects -58 biscayne going kustom

I have a couple of 1959 buick tailights i want to try on my chevy -58. Is there any one how noes if the set up has been tryed before?

Located in sweden so i'm sorry for my bad english! =)

 

No help, other than to say only two misspelled words but easily understood and good grammar as well!

 

I can't say that I have ever seen those on a 58 Chev but maybe some of the custom folks would have some input like @Moriarity.
For reference they seem much larger at least from this pic

 

Seems like there should be enough flat area there to make it work. MAYBE even enough close to the edge to make the contour work.

 

59 Buick light is significantly larger than the lights on the 58 Chevy.

 

I haven’t ever seen it done and wonder how well it would flow with the “V” shape of that area on the quarter? Seems easy enough to pull the stock taillights and put a cardboard circle the diameter of the Buick light and see how it works?

 

Here is a little test shot for you. I removed the bezel as it made it just too large..this is a poorly done frenched version to give you the general idea. Doesn't do it any favors to me, but you may like it

 

Or, you could mock it up like @lucky did even easier.

 

Yeah Im not sure how they would fit with the chrome bezel, frenching them in would then allow you to trim down the outer diameter to fit. It doesnt help that the Bel Air/Biscayne rear fin swoop is narrower than an Impala making it a smaller flat area to work with.

 

Tanks guys! I realy like the buick taillights. It needs a frenching thats for sure. I think this is going to work. I will post some pictures on the project.

 

how much did u lower it and how?

 

I have shortend the springs just to see how it looks, i have an airbag system going in the car during this winter.
I took half of the springs of.

 

I know it's been done before, but you can't beat 58 Merc tail lights.
