    Great custom... Concratulations
    The chop looks realy nice. Heavy, but still with all the right proportions, and the chrome window trims do the trick, very nice.
    Do you have some in progress shots to share?

    Below is the photo I like best. I personally do not care for cars laying on the ground and with the front wheels looking like they are really tired, and want to fall asleep.
    But this one with some clearance looks really good, perhaps an inch more raised in the front then this picture would be perfect! So please always keep some air in those bags... makes the car look much more attractive!

    I agree to both... Amazing car, but the shifter that looks completely outta place.

    But then I don't have to be the one that likes it :p :D

    Looks awesome.
     
  23. Clean lines keep that Ford looking elegant. Fantastic result Sweenlo. Just goes to show that keeping it simple and uncluttered can go a LONG way.

    That is awesome. Looks like something right out of a Weesner painting. Nice job.

    I totally agree. The car is fabulous. I'd rather see a bench seat, no console and a column mount shifter. Again , this is not meant to be a put down on your great build. I'm 64 years old and to me the exterior looks like a 50's build,but finished off with an early 90's interior......Again, the exterior is fabulous.......just my opinion...Mike
