    I'd be driving the wheels off it while deciding what I wanted to do. That said, it looks done to me.

    Welcome to the plus size fender club [​IMG]

    How is the chassis set up? Stock front? MII?

    How about the rear? paralell leaves?

    What about the braking system? I'm still trying to decide on the direction for my 46. [​IMG]

    Yea, I'd like to hear more about the suspension setup too. I've got a 47 coupe with all stock suspension. I think i want to leave the rear, maybe reverse the rear leaf spring eyes, and put a dropped axle in the front. I want a nice rake. A hot flatty is a must! Has stock rebuild now, just begging for some speed equipment. Also, I've been thinking of putting in a dual master cylinder, but I don't know yet. Too bad the flatty is gone from yours [​IMG]

  14. Chop, drop, box (or flush) skirts, lose the plate recess, chrome the "bumpers" (what are those off of?) WWWs, get rid of the smoothie cap, paint the center black and put on a set of bullet lug nuts and a bullet center cap. Lincoln door*****ons, Flattened med blueish purple with blue pearl and baby blue scallops. Can't see uf front, but frenched Studebaker Lark headlight rings.

  17. On the extreme end, do what he said above w/ the purple one. That looks pretty damn amazing.

    On the easier end:

    -HAMB chop
    -Paint those wheels gloss black and get some wide whites
    -Respray the flat black and lay down some gloss black scallops

    Would be an evil looking car w/ that combo.
     
  18. Simpler version, no chop, no more lowering, same color, but it still needs that back bumper chromed (or Mirra-chromed), and WWWs.
