Re: 57 Chevy Wagon - Californa Dreamin'
After carefully marking the new smoothie bumper, I took a deep breath and used a 3" hole saw to open up the necessary clearance for the new parking / turn signal lights. Normally, I hack away without regard to the consequences since I figure a Sawsall, welder and grinder will fix anything, but in this case I really didn't want to buy another bumper. 3" was probably overkill, but I had plenty of room and there wasn't any need to conserve the space. My current plan is to weld some threaded tabs to the bumper bullets (which will require chroming anyway) and drill holes into the bumper for the fasteners. Mulling over the best location for said tabs but the photo with the arrows shows a couple of potential spots.
