    Very nice, tasteful and elegant. Great ride...
     
  4. I'm with everyone else it's stunning.... except! I always say if you look at a car and one part stands out, it's wrong. that ford rear window look large on the profile. I think what makes it stand out would go away if you add the ford stainless ring. that black gasket just jumps off the screen....I hope this doesn't offend anyone. the car is awesum

    Super! The only thing that would make the car better is a stock stainless moulding around that back glass.

    Absolutely perfect build! VERY clean, exactly as they should be.
    I LOVE the front wheel opening's.. Very subtle but catches the eye..

    Nicely done!

    Thanks for all the positive compliments. It's Laurie Peterson "ratstu" who deserves all the recognition, because he built the car.

    Tredboy- The trim is stock Bel Air on the inside doors.
    Slamdpup - The front fender lips are from a 55 Chevy.
    Noname - I do have rear stainless for the back window, just waiting for the correct rubber to install it.

    Thanks again guys, Mike (Custom 54)

    Mike, when they finish building boats they christen them with champagne, I say "Break out the whisky!" Everything "works". So many mods and they all flow. Laurie, you're gettin' pretty good, LOL . We can all learn from you buddy. Mike hope to see ya at the Trade-Ex. Paso will be a howl! -Dave
