Proto-rod modified T from my photo collecton. Note paint, cowl lights, through-mount spot light, windwings, and unusual location for the top-bow eye mount (on the running board!). I can't make out what the radiator cap ornament is. I'm not sure that I like the styling, but it may help to inspire you.

Here's a fibergl*** one that I put together, I sold it before I got it running. Also, another that I liked:
