Just got back from the PI National Membership Meet in CA. I drove my 55 Clipper, even got a picture of my car with BigKev's 54 Clipper, but that's another story.
At the PI meet, I went to the swap meet and spent too much and should have spent more. I got a chromed set of mud guards that go on the rear doors. I am not sure what they are called. Mine need to have some holes filled, because someone put holes in them to screw the guard onto the door and then they'll need to be cleaned and chromed so it was easier to buy it done. I also bought the plastic emblem that goes on the trunk. I could not afford the emblem that goes on the grill, that one would cost $450.00! I also had to get a headlight bucket because mine was missing a piece that would secure the chrome headlight piece. I also got a better looking grill. You can see the original grill in the bottom of the picture and the new one in the top of the picture. I spent some time polishing up the new grill and it looks better than the pictures shows, but it is not a #1 show quality grill. The grill does look good though. My wife says I spent too much. I still need to buy lenses for the turn signal/parking lights!
