    Keeping the windsplits limits your choices to something wi[​IMG] th similar outside edge shape. Maybe 1954 Chevy

    Thanks for that Phil, I think that I remember in the deep and distant past what looked like an upside down T or maybe a cross but I might have dreamt it..

    There are TONS of ideas for Shoebox taillights here on the HAMB , even whole threads dedicated to it. A quick search will keep you busy for hours, and confuse you as well , LOL !

    I mocked up 54 Chevy lights on my '50 project and they just didn't look right to me. I tried to not french them and they were not proportional.

    What about 49-51 Mercury tails? They're small and would fit right if you want to keep the body lines
