I have been delaying work on this one for a while. I need some ideas.

I plan to paint it black with a color changing (chameleon) top and the bullet down the side.

I have the underside done and the engine is almost done. It will have a 348 with a offenhauser cross-ram dual quad intake and valve covers under the hood.

Where I don't know what to do, is with the rear bumper area.

The problem is; the rear bumper has a huge gap when put on upside right, but when flipped over, it fits the curve on the rear pan. With this, the middle part pr the bumper occupies the license plate space. It actually looks ok, but I think there may be a better option. I found a smooth 59 Impala bumper, but it has the same problem of the gap, when put on correctly. Any Ideas? Move license plate under bumper, and leave it upside down? Use 59 Bumper w/ license in OEM location? Other?

I would like to fill in the gap, and use the OEM bumper, but I don't have any way to re-chrome it, so any tips on doing that would be appreciated!
