I sliced the tail off of my 1973 parts car when I was disassembling my parts car to make room in my garage. My plan is to fix all the broken fiberglass and make a wall art piece of the rear end of the car. I have bumpers, tail lights, and all the license plate and exhaust trim pieces.
My plan is to hang the piece at the front of my garage and wire the brake lights to my parking sensor, so they light up when I get to the proper spot in my garage. I was going to wire the back-up lights to my garage door opener.
After seeing the tail section on the floor near the rear of my 82 Vette, I started remembering the photos of "Mistress" and how great she looked with the 82 rear window and the 69 tail section. I thought it would be cool if I could mod the earlier tail to bolt on the rear of a later car. That way I could have a chrome bumper rear of my 82. I know the rear quarters are very different because of the urethane bumper, but I think the new tail can be made to fit the rear quarters and flow into the additional body line at the bottom.
I was wondering if anyone else might be interested in this or have tried it themselves.
