    Thanks for the video. Too much chrome but still a great mild custom in my opinion. Very well built. Wonder where it has been hiding.

    My opinion the 19" wheels are overkill on a 50's Ford kind of borderline "Donk" no larger than 17" would flow with the cars lines better.

    I agree on the wheels but man the rest is great.

    Tough to hate on this one, but i dont care for the Pontiac style headlight eyebrows or the reworked hood line.
    I would've moved the front edge of hood up such that the chrome grill surround (MIA) was still intact with the hood open.
    19" Wheels look ok. 45+ series tires help vs Rubberband, but it would look much better sitting lower to avoid the Donk look.
