Re: 1960 short stepside
Nice addition. Those are right up there with the 58/60 Impala wheel in the cool factor. It really fits with the styling of the dash.

I had a cherry chrome 1960 grille. Sold it to my brother in law when I decided to go back to the original '62 grille. I have another one on hand ('60 grille) in case I ever decide to go back...it's painted though.

I'm not baggin mine (not yet anyway). But I am going to lower it, nothing too drastic...trying to do it without notching it. Any suggestions?
