    That's cool. I like the way they extended the hood lip to meet up to the '51 grille surround. I've seen quite a few cars try to work with the '51 surround with some awkward results, but this is very clean, looks natural.

    Chop was done well, just needs some finishing up.
    I am a flames guy, but yes, not those flames.

    Nothing too major to start with, satin black (not primer black, real paint) for now, and get a few miles on it.
