    I would leave it alone except for @themoose mods. :D That would make it yours in a traditional way.

    I would be tickled pink to have such a sweet coupe.
    But while we're daydreaming about making it mine, I love me some whitewalls but I would play around with photoshop and look at some different options that are not such a low profile (and maybe blackwalls?) and maybe with hood and sides or just top?
    But just make it yours and enjoy! Great car. Tim

  4. Agree, 4 new black walls are on the way and putting a 5" front rim in place of the 7" thats on now. No hood but some engine mods coming soon.

  6. Changed out the W/W's for some different size black walls to get a better stance.

    Looks much better with the new tires! I'd lose the air cleaner, ugly ass upper radiator hose and billet plug wire looms next. Maybe paint the grill shell black to match with the scallops. Then enjoy the hell out of it!
     
  8. Thanks and just give me a little time. Just got this hot rod a month ago. I think I have a pretty good eye for whats correct. Have a few months of winter chit up here and will get it right !!

    Your ride looks great. For what it's worth my son's car has the exhaust system you mentioned. When my wife or I ride in it it's a bit loud for us. The baffles lasted about a thousand miles. But my son and his wife say hot rods need to be loud. Age matters. Good luck.

  12. Thanks everyone for your compliments and hot rod advice. I'll work on some issues over the next few cold winter months and post up some new pics in the Spring of 21 and hopefully 2021 will be a much better year for us all !!

  15. Winter mods complete. Tri-power system, Lake Headers, blacked out rad and lost the billet. I think it looks like a true Hot Rod now....
