    If you don't pull the headlights out to the edge of the ring, it's going to look a little bug eyed. In my opinion they look better at the edge of the ring. Keep at it. Cool project.

    Man I really love what your doing to this car. I started building one of these a few years back and was going the same route. Im throwing it out there incase you forgot a bat wing air cleaner would look bad *** on there. Or the one stock one you got all pinstriped up. 3 deuces would look great too. Keep up the great work. This car is gonna be killer.

    Car is turning out nice. I commented "Billet. Here we go." I wasn't slamming you on it, just thinking you would get a bunch of **** about it. No offense intended.
