    Hmmm... Not really a fan, too much dip in the rear for me.
    I assume you'll be cutting some differently shaped side glass to square it against the quarter glass and new roofline?

    Nice work, headlights are a cool touch. Not sure if I dig the roof, but looks like great craftsmanship regardless.

    I really like '54 Buicks, and when I saw your first post a while back, I was skeptical.

    I think you're pulling it off well.

    The rounded hood corners are nice--I want to do that on my '54.

    Putting the portholes below the chrome was a neat, and real original idea too--I remember you writing that you did it to make the car look lower, and it worked well.

    Amazing work. Only thing I'm not crazy about are the tail lights, too small or two low, not sure which. But overall one amazing job.

    Gotta agree looks a little over chopped to me as well. Nice work though.
