54 stude coupe design and modifications

I've had 4 of those cars..love 'em. If I did anything at all to the headlights it would be to build sheetmetal extensions on the front fenders that exactly mimic the original shape of the headlight rings. It'd look like somebody just welded the stock headlight rims to the car and smoothed out the weld...but of course the originals are pot metal and not "weldable"..
It appears your 54 has 53 grille inserts...a little smoother than 54s...nice looking car.
