    Drop the rear end, add some skirts, a cool set of full wheel covers, chopt the top (or not), and get rid of that ugly ass visor. Done!

    I don't think it matters. The car is not lowered, nosed or decked.
    looks like a stocker with a few bolt on items. There is nothing wrong with that, always being able to go back (to stock) for resale purposes are often necessary. Necessary depending on one's budget or motive for purchasing the car.

    Well my 50 chevy has a visor. It was the first thing I did to the car. I love it!
    I drove it to the Lockhart Hatters show. This is kind of funny to me ,one friend liked the look so much that he bought a visor for the 47 chevy coupe that he was driving and another friend bought a 47 chevy coupe like my buddy was driving.

    You should do what you like and I see that you have. I hope!

    It looked like it was mounted too high anyway.

  9. Good move. Visors and skirts don't look good on a hot rod coupe. Its over the top.

    Probably 1/2 the ones telling you to lose it are salavating and hoping you post it in the HAMB classifieds so they can scoop it up.They sure bring some nice $$$ on evilbay,I would love to have an original visor for my '54 the sun can scorch your eyeballs out here in Phoenix if you are driving West around 5:30-7:00 PM.

    Remount the outside mirrors so that they are at the same level ... looks kind of odd as it is now. Otherwise a nice looking car, but lose the visor and bolt-on crap.

    No visor, much cleaner lines without it, keep it and you can always put it back on later.

    Visor only if it is a tail dragger with all of the Bomba regalia to go with it.
    The car would look a hell of a lot better minus it and the sidepipes though as both look stuck on on an otherwise clean little hot rod. A bit too much of the Western Auto/Pep boys bolt on customizing going on there.

    I was around in the 1950s and I was paying attention. Visors were used by two groups and neither group was hot rodders.
    Hot rodders took things OFF the cars. We didnt add accessories

    If it were mine, I would take the visor off...

  18. I like visors, on stock vehicles. No custom car should have a visor, ever.
