    I wanted to see what moon disk looked liked so I stole these off of johnnys Roadster..I always wanted to see what a full hood looked like too and I think i'm digging the whole thing..I also put in the side blue glass... I might do this Version for real some day..
    I want do a weekend drag version too some day...maybe I should get it running right first hahahaah...

    what do you think of this version?

    The thing about the hood is it covers a REALLY pretty engine.

    Yes on the glass, no on the discs. Just my worthless opinion.
     
  3. just another look of a killer car. a true evolution!

    I do agree about the motor...especially after all the money i got into it..
    but I would like to have different looks eventually that I can change overnight...

    I think the hood would be great if you had a small block ford with greasy valve covers and a leaky autolite carb.

    if my brain is working don't you have a chromed out Caddy motor?

    blue windows are always cool.

    windows are neat..

    i think the moon discs contradict the rest of the car.. you spent lots of time and $$$ to find and chrome all the cool speed parts and then you went and bought moon discs!! they just dont work for me..

    the hood..

    still trying to decide..

    I dont like the moon discs. You asked.
     
  13. Less is more, leave it alone.
     
  14. Since you asked .....
    The moons are totally out of character for the car.
    The hood looks disproportionately long - did you stretch the front of the car? It might be the angle of the photo but it just looks "off" to me. Almost Bonneville-ish
    Just my Opinion
     
  15. Hood and sides-look cool(occasionally!)
    blue glass-looks great!
    moon discs-don't like them(not right for you car)

    Why are Moon Disk out of Character and contradict the car? I think there correct era wise and were used on show cars as well as race cars,,

    Ya the hood would be a bit long due to the way we had to mount the grille ahead of the
    crossmember...its the picture too..

    But i respect everyones opinion and like I said this would be some thing I can change
    over if I wanted too.. It probly won't happen for a long time since i'm broke..but it was
    fun to photoshop it and see what it would look like..

    I like it Evel. And the Moon disc are definately right for that car. After all the chroming that would be about what a hot rodder could afford. ;) Either way killer car. Heres a suggestion though, photoshop the headers more in line with the flow of the front rails.

    I think this version gives it a bit of that "Futuristic" look that some builder were going
    for in the late 50's early 60's and it tames it down a bit from the "HEY EVERYONE CHECK ME OUT WITH ALL MY EXPESIVE CHROME" :D hahahahaha

    Boy howdy you sure like to get these guys stirred up over a photoshop redo job. The moons might be fun if you had a set of tires that had more of a salt flats racer look to them to swap out just for grins.

    I like the looks of the hood but have to agee with the others that it would cover up that knockout engine. But it might not be a bad thing to have for the times when you have to park the car in a motel lot at night. pop it off and leave it in the motel room during the day and secure it at night.
