After living with the finished shape of the sedan delivery body for a couple weeks now I've become convinced the rear curve of the body is too dramatic and overpowering and I need to soften the impact by adding other curves/sight lines to the car. I've been playing around with some photoshopped fenders and am about to embark on fabricating what is pictured below. Fortunately, I won't need to destroy any of the existing body lines or features by adding these fenders...so they WILL be removable should they turn out to totally mess up the impact of the car.
The fronts are simply cycle type fenders, the running board will be partially open (more like the step bar you see on newer pickups than a solid running board) and the rears will be full fenders with a panel transitioning into the rear quarter panel of the car. The first picture is how the car looks now and the photoshopped/colorized picture is my target design.
I'm interested in hearing additional opinion on whether this adds to or detracts from the original lines of the car. I personally feel this would be an improvement...but I'm not yet married to the idea. So I'm open to hearing pros and cons.
