how bout something like this>

 

the profile is perfect.

What a difference a year makes...

 

I still think the inverted 57 Buick style grille sounds best, I think it would give it more of a Concept car look . We see all kinds of floating Bar Grilles in Kustoms everyday, this isn't really a "Kustom" as we all define em but rather a one-off "Motorama" style car. It needs something different. Enough rambling, I hope You know what I mean !

 

Jim, that grille bar looks good in a kinda understated way, sorta cl***y way ,but I see overheating issues if you go with small holes in the mesh screen.
You'll probably have to go with big cooling fans behind the core even if you don't go with a Flattie given the smaller air intake of the nu grille opening.

What did you ever do with the wheel well openings that you removed from the fron and rear?
