    I'd refine it a bit by moving the front axle forward to balance out the grille. Add a visor and a chrome T shell and radiator. As far as wheels go some chrome supremes would add to the creepy factor. I hope you don't hate me.

    Nice ride...congratulations on your first road trip, enjoy it for years to come.
    Hints:
    Drop the radiator and shell to line up the top with the cowl at the firewall.
    Add a visor, perhaps 28-29 P***enger car, rather than the big funky cloth covered T style.
    Make a nicely padded top with smooth rolls and edges to eliminate the tin can top look.
    Swap the wheels for 5-spoke mags or slots in back and 5-spokes up front.
    Build a real exhaust system instead of Johnny Lightning's weedburners.

    Love the shiney black/red window look. Some mag wheel's and white wall or even redline's would really give it a '60's vibe. Over all you've put together a cool ride!

    Nice to see a tall-boy for a change. So many are quick to chop 'em, it's nice to see one in the other direction. I think it looks pretty damn cool myself. Good work.

    I'm diggin' the red windows, but I'm older and remember when colored windows were all the rage. Very nice car. Congrats. +1 on the radiator sitting kinda high, though. Still, I wouldn't kick it outta bed for eating crackers.

    A fellow Kansan hits the road!!! Looks good, no 2cents here.
     
  22. I'll agree with what the others said-smaller grille shell, NOT taller than the cowl. And ditch the radials. I like the shine and tallness. A slight chop wouldn't hurt.

    you definitely need much taller and skinnier tires and wheels, more of a size difference, too. it needs a 'rubber rake'...

    red windows are awesome!

    I love those red windows,wish they were legal here!If it were mine,I'd go something like Astro's & skinny Whitetires for that '60's showrod look,but it ain't so I'll STFU and say you should be proud,its kool.
