Re: my radical 60 build
here are some shots of how the rear is coming together.
I used part of a bed side across the back to wrap the body line around the truck (had to section that too.).
I had a 60 gmc hood, and I was going to use the front part of it to make a taillight cove,however I turned that thing 10 different ways, and it would not flow with the bedside and the bumper- too many curves and angles up against straight lines...now it is a garage wall hanging , which I don't mind ...
So I just happened to have a pair of 62 buick taillights sitting around, and they turned out perfect. I might buy some more red lenses , and get rid of the reverse lights.
The bumper is 1960 elcamino/wagon.
I will probably get one of those 60-66 rollpans for under the bumper.
And I have alot of fab work to do to bring the corners together, and mold the taillights in.
