    It looks to be getting the love it deserves.
    I'd like to se the front fenders mimic the rear fenders more..slight flare, coming to a point.

    At the least I think the hood needs to be pancaked, looks a little too fat in the side view, IMHO.

    I think the OP's car is most likely not the Stuckey car ....but is the one Moriarity posted.....also VERY cool ...The OP's car is deeply channeled with raised fenders (but an unsectioned hood...which makes it look bulky IMO ) ...the Stuckey car was sectioned.........is my view controversial ...probably........but the one Moriarity posted is equally as cool as the Stuckey built car...and NB ..the OP's car still has the paint traces on it.and the swoop in the front of rear fenders..IMO ...it's misleading to say it's by Stuckey when it isn't

    For years the story was the car got crushed I can understand the chop bit it looks to me the wheelwell opening got bigger.

    I bought a bunch of mid 60's show pictures on ebay, this is one of them. the wheel openings were modified pretty early on....

    Cool picture I never saw the car in paint. I remember seeing Jim driving the car on Douglas but it was in primer.
