Re: 1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project

Hey BossHogg69, did you see what I wrote in your '65 wagon thread
about the tail lights?
I always liked the way the tail light are close to eachother to Chevrolets from
1965 and older. When Chevrolet came back to separate lights in 1968, they put
them farther away from eachother. On the Kingswood this was further
exaggerated. This is illustrated in this pic:



My wagon has been hit in the rear left corner, and the tail light lenses are all
in dire need of getting changed for new ones. It's not really easy to find
tail light lenses for the 1968 wagon, so I came up with the idea of costomizing
my ride by mounting three pairs of 1950 Pontiac tail lights with sequential turn
signals. Ever since I was a kid, I have dreamed of having that kind of turn
signals on my car.
This would also let me tuck the tail lights a little bit closer to eachother, than
they're originally on an impala or caprice wagon.
I tried to photoshop Pontiac lights onto the tail of a '68 wagon, and I think
this would look so okay, that people who don't know classic cars probably
wouldn't notice that it's not an original look.



Yup, I pasted in my own register plate too .
