MadFish Posted March 18, 2003 Posted March 18, 2003 What you think with or without grill guard and tail light guards? with without with without the race car And heres a pic of the damage the grill guard did to the fender. If you think that looks like bare metal, your right.
MadFish Posted March 18, 2003 Author Posted March 18, 2003 actually, I took the grill guard and tail light guards off so I could clean and wax behind them. Im thinking about leaving the tail light guards off, though.

95whtZR2 Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 I agree, I never have been a fan of tail light guards, just something for brush to get stuck in and scratch up your truck... Did that bare metal come from teh grille guard flexing backward while driving ??? If so that is one helluva weak guard... Looks slick though... Tom
MadFish Posted March 19, 2003 Author Posted March 19, 2003 Did that bare metal come from teh grille guard flexing backward while driving ??? If so that is one helluva weak guard... No, the guard got bent when I hit a tree. I was on some trails and had to take a sharp turn going down hill. Didnt make it. But, thats where the guard has been rubbing against the fender since it got bent. Im going to try and bend it back out while I have it off.
antig24 Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 I'd say keep the front brush guard but leave the tailight protectors off.
Ski-Dooman Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Lose the tail light guards Indifferent on the grille guard.
doverarjim Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Good lookn Chevelle. If you should decide to make it an SS let me know I have all the Chrome from my 67 around here some place. I pulled all the chrome off of mine I liked the clean look of it a lot more after I got the holes filled up. How quick does she go and what motor, and trans?
MadFish Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 I think last run she made was 10.70 at 155mph in the 1/4. Its been a few years since she has been at the track. But, she has a 377 and a powerglide. Im switching over to a blown 468 and thinking about either a 400 or a 4spd. I am going to put her back on the street after 22 years.
