    hello all,

    i got a new project to work on, 1954 chevy 2 door. if i do get on this it will be later in the year because i have to finish up my 41 chevy truck first.

    but i would like to get some parts before i get to the point of me starting on it. swap meet season is coming apon us and it will be the best time to find stuff if i can.

    i looked here and searched the world wide web with no luck. but i need help and pictures of stuff i need to finish the radiator support and grill area between the fenders. the reason i need pictures of items is to be able to see what im looking for when walking around the swap meet.

    heres some pictures of what i got to work with.

    What you need is a '54 parts car. Finding everything you're missing a piece at a time is going to be tough.

    Agreed. Buy one 4-door, strip off the front clip, and part out the rest to more or less get your money back.

    Just sent you a PM. I have an entire front clip sitting here. Fenders, hood, inners, lower valance, all of it. It could be yours, need a weekend road trip?

    you need a front clip......talk to greaser, it would be way to hard to piece that together and would cost to much time and money at swaps, if you take in the fact you might buy what you think fits but wont.....

    If you are on a trip to get parts from Greezer I am just down the road and have some parts also. a 54 grill, a nice 54 front bumper, and some other 53/54 parts

    He is right. These are 53 fenders so that will determine what you need unless you just buy a whole front clip and do a swap.
