    Did you shorten the front doors and make the back doors longer? It's hard to tell in the bottom photo because of the angle it was taken at, but something is going on there.

    Wondered if the rear wheel was actually moved back. Looks like about 6" on the "blueprint".

    Are you talking about the 'stripe' over the center? Looks more silver than chrome, but hard to tell from the pics. Any detail shots of the paint?

    Definitely has a lot of Hirohata/McNiel flavor to the body mods. The wild paint makes me appreciate the organic colors more commonly seen on early 50's customs. Front bumper has a 'heavy' appearance. Wonder if it is a Lincoln? Kinda has DeSoto vibe to it, but seems beefier.
