Finally figured out my tail lights on my 51 chevy!

Looks good I like it!

 

Very nice on both ends. MHO, Solid red lenses, keep the gaudy out of the build.

 

yes

 

I think it looks great, nice work.

 

Nice touch.

 

Cool work. Have an unrelated question: A work bench is in your first picture......'splain the drawer underneath or whatever that is with the handle and the papers stickin' out. regards

 

Thanx! What do you think would look good?

Ian

 

Not a work bench! More like an amateur work station with a drawer and a vise.

I HATE IT .....................












HAHAHA.. DIG IT MAN nice clean work!!!! works well with your car !!!

 

Nice photos and clean work. I have been having the same debate in my circle. I have a '49 and dont care for the stock lights. For some reason mine look cross eyed to me where the factory mounted them on the back panel. We were tossing around the vette lights and the packards,....and also the 50's merc lights.

I have not seen any like yours and its a good thing. I'll have to chase down your other threads. Did you post any other work you have completed?

 

flows really well-looks ****ing awesome. have any more pics of the car?

 

thanx man! check out my album, there's 70 pics of my project!!

MERRY XMAS!!

IAN

 

Merry xmas john!!! thanx bro!

ian

 

Pretty cool

 

I don't think that I have ever seen a car that I actually like those tail light on until now. Not only do I like them, I love them on the rear of your car. Your buckets and work is spot on and you really have done them justice. Awesome!

 

hahahaha that was the plan!!!!
take care man

 

Damn Ian........damn. Ok, enough of the "Its my first time, just using the tools I have" ****......you sir, are turning out a top notch custom....I hate you
I need to make it down to your place so maybe you can teach me a thing or two! Well, back into the garage I go to polish my turd! thanks..

I really like that, nice work!

 

they look killer man!................ johnny

 

I agree, for the most part, the 59 Caddy tailights have been overdone, but done right, as you have done Ian, they still look great.
My buddy has '49 Merc with the '59 Caddy tailights, that look great. I know, you are saying, that combo is way overdone. But what makes it "OK", in my opinion, is that he built the Merc in 1959, and he used the Caddy tailights then. He may not have been the first, but he was one of the first.
AGAIN, grrrreat job Ian.
