How much chop and french what?
I planned on removing the headlights and putting them in the louvered panels on each side of the grille. I want to have them rotate like on a rallysport Z-28. I planned on smoothing the rear tail lights so they are flush with chevrons (Like a Sargent's stripes) I also thought about removing the hood louvers, removing the roof-drip edge and losing the wing window and both bumpers.
What color do ya think?
No thanks, not looking to do a road trip in winter. Plus i dont have my permit yet, waiting till i learn to drive before i get a car. For safty reasons.
Anyone have any "artwork" on a 39 Chevy 2 door? I want to see what it would look like with the "bigwheel look" vs traditional 15" wheels. I need motivation ! Grinding/replacing the bottom member of the torquetube chassis is a PITA! Grrrr.......
I know this thread is a little old but I was hoping one of you guys could maybe possibly do a 69 charger, or a 71 Challanger R/T, or a Dodge Dart Swinger, thanks
True, it would require a bit of fabrication. But keep in mind that the large diameter wheels are a contemporary modification, and wouldn't be accurate to use on something like a 50's style custom, for example. Contemporary cars don't have items like chrome bumpers, split windshields, drip rails, etc.
Of course, you wouldn't necessarily have to go as extreme as something like my coupe design, either. Removing or molding the bumpers, flush mounting headlights and tailights, and a single piece curved windshield along with the right color and stance would make your car stop traffic. Give your car some good detail work, update it here and there, and put some 18- and 20-inch wheels on it.
Anyone can put a wheel and tire package on a car. Making it all work with the theme and feeling of the car is what will make your car stand out from the thousands of cookie-cutter customs that are out there.

I don't have a before picture - but this is what I ended up with.
This is what I am working torward with my 1951 Ford F-1...hopefully, I will get the fenders stretched within the next month or so...
