Curious of what you all think of the look of this,,its my 53 ford custom,,i dont have an original front bumper,,Im having a hard time finding one and im not crazy of the look of the stock piece so i was thinking about just customizing the front end and came across this 57 chevy one piece from a buddy of mine and im thinking its a pretty good fit and look??,, my 53 ford UTUBE build up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4jo_f9hOOA
That one piece front bumper is worth more that 5 of those ford bumpers. It dosnt do much for me on the ford.
I have a stock front bumper and pan I'll sell you if you change your mind. As for this setup, it could work, but I think it'd look nicer with a floating grille bar as opposed to the 53's full width grille. I have a '53 Olds bar that would look nice in there.
Having owned several 52-54 Fords the more I looked at it the more I liked it.It does kind of have a I'd go with it,be unique!
It looks kool to me , but may be not with that stock grille ! If it would be me, i guess i'll put the bumper a little higher, and shorten the stock grill to fit flotting in the chevy mouth ... will look killer with an molded upper lip ! IMHO
looks cool! much beter than stock but must agree with the stock grill comments. also i think it needs to come up a bit.
the grill wont ever look right ...put something else in there...since your going to using it i'll take it.....
I like it a lot more than I thought I would after reading the subject line. It looks and fits good, even with the stock grill bar,
thanks for the comments guys! glad to hear most thought it was ok,,,I was starting to wonder if maybe im spending way to much time in the shop, I'm definitely in a mode were iv got more time then money and being what the car is a chopped up 4 door into a 2dr roadster im thinking why not,,iv got a couple more days of wiring left to do itll give me time to think about it.. ,,jim my 53 ford UTUBE build up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4jo_f9hOOA
