    Rear Exhaust Bezels and Vertical Bumper Crescents

    I am replacing the exhaust bezels and bumper crescents on my 56 with NOS parts and need to know the correct clearance between the crescents and the body. The current ones vary from132" and 58".

    Steve -

    These rear pieces never did fit very well - the fit was mediocre at the exhaust outlet bezel, and got worse as it got to the bottom end of the lower crescent; whatever "finessing" you do will probably be better than the way it looked in 1956. Be careful when tightening the nuts on the attaching studs - if you try to "pull them in" closer, you can spider-crack the 'glass around the stud hole. These things are best fitted/finessed on a raw body prior to paint so you can make "bold adjustments" without damaging the paint.
