Thread: '58 2 door Biscayne

Tweet

I love '58 Chevies! My dad had a 4 door Biscayne when I was a little kid. You have some nice ideas working but I'll throw my 2 cents in for what it's worth....
I'm not crazy about the blower poking thru the hood. I'm also not crazy about the chrome steelies for the wheels. I think some 17 & 18" Torque Thrust II's would look good on it. Just make sure the sidewall height of the rear tire is taller than the sidewall height of the front tire (on the pic you showed above of the turquoise Biscayne, I thought the back tires looked like ribbons compared to the front tires). There are other wheel choices that would look good besides torque thrust, too but I would stay kinda simple & classic in design while going with a more modern size.

As for the grille, instead of blacking it out, you might consider thin billet bars with a polished front edge and black powder coat on the rest of the grille. Attach the "chevy V" in the center and use the stock parking lights. It's a really big hole to have all black.

I like the two tone pattern you've chosen. I would keep all the chrome trim on it because I think the car needs it.

Those are my thoughts for now for what it's worth....

Also, Thanks so much for your service in the National Guard!! It's very cool that your wife has the car-knowledge to check this thing out for you!!

Good luck with the project. It's going to be really cool.
