    No pics, but you are thinking right. The rear wheel opening on a 55 Chev is ugly and does not suggest "Hot Rod". The 2 most important things you can do to get the drag car look is take off the front bumper, and radius the rear wheel openings.

    My uncle built a 55 like the one in the pic. He used 55 nomad wheel openings for the rear.

    this isn't a real car, it's the box art from the 1964 issue Revell 55 Chevy model. I have the full thing as the wallpaper on my computer...it's a *****in painting.
