Couple of minor tweaks, just to get your head spinning; The front fender spear should be shortened to align with the back of the wheelwell angle, which is similar to the other chrome angle. Fudge the rear axle forward a bit, so it looks a bit funny in the wheelwell. Front bumper off? I like how they complete the front, and it's smart on a street driver, but it was all about speed, and a lot of gassers took those off. 5407358-alt.JPG (1356 downloads)
