GOOD START,looks like ya got some bacics done,but still lots of fun work to do and smoothing out and filling in. Always liked 351. keep up the good work.
I am thinking that you can go with an ealry drag car look with it as it seems to have a roll bar in it. But I would change the dash and the headlights they are not really working and seem to be taking away from what could be a very nice project. I am not trying to be a jerk.........so please don't take it that way. I am just giving my opinion to what I would change if it were mine.
Some torque thrust and a set of pie crust slicks, the nose up a little bit,put an aluminum dash in it with some SW gauges an old school Tach. Then paint and letter it up . Oh yeah don't forget the zoomies............lol
it's a GREAT place to start. I agree with LWK. Move the headlights out to normal position. The flamed dash HAS to GO! The roll bar seems a bit out of place. maybe make it wider at the top, and lower. Check out the Double Barrel 32 that was in Rod and CUstom a few months back. I can't say crap, as I'm still finishing the chassis on my 32 roadster. I am building mine like a 60's drag car...hope this helps. It's a LOT easier to say what sticks out on somebody elses car, than your own. That's why I come in here...brutal honestly. Just my $0.02.
It has potential but could use some basic finishing out without gettin crazy. Lose the roll bar. Put a hood on it, and maybe some fenders and running boards if you dont plan on channeling it, and at least get it one color. A top and lower in the front with diffrent tires and/or wheels would also help. Also, what have ya got hiding back there in the garage?
If you're building a altered, change the roll bar to what slepe67 wrote. If you're not building a altered, lose the roll bar. Real hot rods don't have fenders. The stance looks about right for a altered, but again if you're not building a altered... lower the front. You're well on your way, keep plugging away at it.
