    Hey do any of you fine Hambers know anything about this 54’ Chevy? I just picked her up from a buddy that doesn’t know anything about it. IMG_6561.jpeg IMG_6562.jpeg IMG_6560.jpeg IMG_6592.jpeg IMG_6591.jpeg IMG_6593.jpeg

    Bare metal…here I come.
    If it’s an important car….keep the way it is…but if not I would I do something with the center section of the grille….

    That’s the plan, I want to see what history I can come up with and then go from there. But first thing I’m planning is to flip the grill teeth right side up, and ditch the 57’ Dagmars. Go with a straight bumper I can split…. I need Packard lenses cheap or imma change them to something more economically priced

    I like the front bumper but the 50 Buick grill teeth need to be flipped over. Moon Eyes has repop Packard lenses I think. Either them or Obrians.

    Thanks for the heads up, gonna grab those Packards lenses from Moon $180 a pair, not bad considering buying new glass ones are well over $600

    and add side scoops like this

  10. For once I think I might like the after pictures better than the before pictures. Please proceed and keep us in the know.

  12. Not usually a big custom or canted headlamps guy, but I kinda like it. Looks like an angry face with fangs bared.

    Losing the Dagmars isn't a bad idea.
