Reassembly Update - August 2001

Project '57 Chevy

Update Aug 2001

Backup Lamp Installation

The reassembly process continues...
The old '57 150 model did not come with backup lamps but it is a necessary safety feature in the 21st century. 狢 picked up this kit from Mike Drago...
Backlamp Kit

the backlamps are installed in the open area just underneath the taillights
This photo shows the location for the backlamps, just underneath the tailights. This '57 originally had stainless block off plates instead of backup lights. The backup lamps were an option.

This picture shows the assembled item. If I had it to do over, I would have installed the backup lamps before the bumper was installed. Overall, this was a pretty straightforward assembly that ate up a Saturday afternoon.
