@Leon Sandcastle If it were mine, this would be my model: Joe Cruces' T coupe. [ATTACH]
OK. Here is the '70 Charger lowered with maybe a 2" chop. I think it spoils the balance of the car, but you may like it. [ATTACH]
Bob McNulty's fabulous Kellison Astra won its class at Oakland. It ran an a modified Henry J chassis with a Ford Y-block, T-Bird wires wheels and...
@Bdamfino How about this? [ATTACH]
I'm on it! Back soon.
Sunshine yellow? [ATTACH]
Go Kustom! [ATTACH]
@Gambler 1962 How about a full custom '62 Falcon? [ATTACH]

@LarsL Since you didn't specify any other colors, I used one of my 1950s favorites, 1957 Lincoln coral (or something close). [ATTACH]

@quakerchevelle Here's a shiny version. [ATTACH]
Like this? [ATTACH]

Or go full custom with a Carson top! [ATTACH]

@drumyn29 Do you have a dead-on side shot of your Ute? I have some ideas for you, but need a better photo to work with.
@Rand Man Carson top. [ATTACH]
I gave it another go, using a 1951 Mercury surround. By the time I was done I thought, it might be easier to find a 1950 Canadian Monarch and swap...

@flynstone The 1960 Invicta was one of Buick's most flamboyant designs. I think two-tones, even the stock colors don't look quite right. If you...
