cant draw any thing but. some ideas for you mold grill shell with vette grill cut roof off chop wind shield model a style roadster roof skirts merc headlight rings
First off the skirts are gonna be tough with those flared wheel openings. I would say angle chop the roof( It looks like you could wear a cowboy hat in it now) Peak the hood remove all the emblems and trim. Lower it. You could build a "merc" style grill opening out of some tubing. That and some wild paint would just about do it for me.
Stick to the basics, lower, shave, french, maybe a chop to make the roof look less like a bubble on top. It's always going to have odd proportions though just because it's so small. One way out of that might be to build your own custom grille and so on and try to make it look like it's a 5/8ths scale car, rather than swap on full size parts from other cars. Or, the g***er look wouldn't hurt.
hell yea, and louver the hood too... nice place to start. might get a bit cramped in there with that much chop, but damn it looks nice
Here is a quicky I have an old photo shop on this computer so it is ruff but something to look at..........If it was mine I would go Hot Rod and not Kustom. Since you were going to pay me alot of money to kustomize it for ya....I chopped and sectioned it, frenched the headlites for ya.....I'll send ya the bill. Ha, ha, ha,,, Happy Trails, Mick
wow well done on making a good car look **** they just dont work as a Kustom they're a driver Matt just get one a put a pre crossflow in it and a 105e back axle sorted perfect tool for work and a messing about in or just leave the flatty in and get overtaken by everyone on the motorway haha
just in the time I was doing this photoshop, someone already did a section and buick headlights. heres my take on it. I alraedy dig those headlights and grill opening, maybe a tube grill? I also showed skirts. the emblems are shaved and the doorhandles too and some appleton spots. definitely needs a slammed stance, and maybe a healthy chop. you could also add fins at the rear 1/4 panels.
you may have better luck trying a G***er look than a custom most I can see is Buick headlights and some kinda Merc grille or something like that
First and foremost would be to do something with those tiny wheels. The first two Photoshops both employed different but effective methods of giving the tires more visual presence (i.e.whitewalls, and wheel covers that visually extend to the rim.) I would also go with the tallest profile tire that will work with a lowered stance. The Buick headlights came immediately to mind (repro parts may be available), but the 'shopped Frenched lights also look good. Drawer pulls or chrome bullets on blacked out grille mesh are a possibility. A nice shave (including doorhandles) should be enough of a start to seriously up the cool quotient. The side trim and black paint can stay. Spend your money on white and green, blue, or red rolls and pleats.
i think with the frenched headlights and wheels from stray cat and the chop and lower from gigantor with a straight bar grill or mesh grille would be sick.
Really think they make better looking G***er's than Customs. Straight axle nose high and a big motor, radius the rear wheel wells and go racing.
