I have always liked the looks of the Beaumonts, is it possible to bolt a '66 Beaumont grill and headlight trim onto a '66 Chevelle? If so, is there anyone out there reproducing these parts? I know it's not for everyone, but I think it would cool on my car.

Hi Mike, No one reproduces grills or headlight pods for beaumonts. but they do bolt right up. I also like the look, in the showroom, 66beaumont I have a picture of my 66 elcomino with grill installed also did a complete dash transplant, car is not done yet, but hey i,ve been busy retiring !!! will post more pics. as project moves forward.

I had thought to doing that with my 68 El Camino and painting it to match my Beaumont. I have all the parts to do it.

Thanks for the replys. It's good to know it will all just bolt right on, the hard part will be finding all the pieces it looks like.

How about turning a 2 door wagon in to a one of a kind Beaumont? I wish I had more time.

I can't speak to a 66, but in 69 I believe the header panels are different - I think there is an extra mounting point for the grille centre bar or something like that.

I've been told the same thing for the 66's but I've never compared them side by each. I know it can be done but I don't think it's as sample as bolting it on.

Ron, you are correct..in fact the entire nose is different in 69..fenders, rad support, header paner, header panel side supports, hood release. ..all unique to beaumont..I've got a hybred coming as well..a canopo! :D
