The tailgate striker cover is now stainless.

The radiator overflow was reinstalled. It doesn't stand out too much in the engine bay. We also installed a custom made panel to cover the wiring for the passenger side headlamp wiring harness.

Retro Autosound 1956 Chevy replacement radio. The sound is so much better than the original.
|
Of course the booster had to go somewhere, so it is underneath the rear seat, in a protected area.
|
The Raingear wiper system came with a modern plastic fluid resevoir. Kurt made a metal cover for it to blend it into the engine bay.
|
The rear seat back latch was installed.
|
Spring Carlisle netted us bumpers for front and rear - well almost. Bumper Boys has rechromed originals for about 2/3 of each bumper. So we had to wait for the other pieces to arrive.
|
Ooooooooohhhhhhh. Shiny.
|
There are two different thought channels on bumpers. Rechromed originals have typically thicker metal, but the fit can be off due to straightening and wear over time. Reproduction ones typically have thinner metal, and may or may not fit better. It really comes down to preference. We chose the thicker metal.
|
Spring clamps hold the bumper to body seal in place while the glue dries.
|
The front bumper fits well.
|
The back bumper not so well on the driver corner. Obviously that end had been straightened and was not back to original specs. It will do for now.
