    I borrowed this pict from the customs of Japan thread. I am curious what this bumper is comprised of. Several different bumpers and grills?

    The center looks like a '54 Packard grille, not sure what the ends are from though.

    The outer most ends remind me of 57 olds for some reason. Probably not?

    I was thinking that also. It looks as if the bottom portion was cut off of 57 Olds rear bumper ends.

    A 54 Pontiac grille might be a better slimed down version between the parking lights.

    Saw a cool custom rear bumper at Pinkies rod shop on a leadsled.Eric said they fabricated a wooden buck,sculptured it and shaped it to fit the body. Took it to a foundry and used it for the mold .They poured it in aluminum.Final finish and polish it came out awesome! It could be chromed if desired.

    I like the exhaust coming through the park lights. I think it might look better without the center section. I will do a little photshop after work and post it up.
