    Hello everyone, decided to join this social forum

    I own a 55 Club Sedan that’s currently being worked on, hoping to make it a mild kustom

    Here’s a recent photoshop job involving a 56 DeSoto grille compared to the original, please share your thoughts and whether or not you think it can work

    Imagine the turn signals are gone on the DeSoto grille haha

    Welcome to the forum and might I say, nice work with photoshop!
    Check out my full blog on a 55 Ford Club Sedan by visiting hotrodreverend.com. PLENTY of videos, pictures, and quite a bit more on there.

    Welcome and I don’t care for the DeSoto grill but if you do then do it.

    Welcome aboard. I don't care for it either but I'm not a real kustom person. The V emblem screams Chevy to me and there is too much gap around the grill. But that is just my opinion.

    I'm with Joe. Doesn't have a real good aesthetic (sp?) look to it.
    Sorry to be negative on your first post.....but welcome!
    Since were photoshop building here, try removing the parking lights, definetly remove the v, and flipping the grille upside down with maybe an added bar below it.

    as pretty well everyone has said not fans of look.but I do not think that should deter you from doing it or scare you off.if we all had the same taste we would all be driving lookalike cars like the cube(ugh)
