Re: Modify 1960 Chevy front guards for 55-59 bumpers

I thought of doing this very thing with the later guards. The bumper profile is just way to different. I went as far as picking a used set up of 60's guards to find out because it looked possible. Nope.

What did you end up doing?

Well I figured I've plenty to do with the parts I HAVE, so I'll just be patient and see what comes up...but I really considered some 60 guards. I guess its not the shape that is the problem as much as the brackets, eh?
