With the help of Hollis it's finally done. Thanks Hollis. I bought this as a convertible model off of Ebay for $19, it had issues so it was a perfect candidate to mod. I wanted to start with an FM '55 hardtop but after several failed bidding attempts, this was my new direction to have the trio of tri-five BelAir hardtops in red & white. Mods include a complete top replacement with a top from the FM fire chief model, I filled the hole where the beacon was and repainted it. Next was the removal of the buttwart. I sectioned the FM bumper ends with a kit bumper and bumper guards then sent it out for rechroming. Removed the rear side windows. Did some detail painting, added photo etch emblems and scripts plus an antenna. Also added a tailpipe made from a piece of aluminum tubing as that was missing. I then finished it off with a custom plate on the trunk lid. Thanks for looking guys. Blessings, Geno.

Looks great Geno! For the rear bumper I guess you wanted the bumper guards, otherwise the fire-chief car rear bumper should fit right in.

@chav hi Chav, yes, I wanted the fancier end caps on the bumper and the bumper guards to match the front bumper.
