I'm sure I'm in the minority but except for the changes made to the 53 stude, the others looked a lot better as original, stock cars. Flame on.
I'll have to partially agree... The shoeboxes both are suffering somewhat 'incomplete' looking front end treatments, although the '51 looks a bit better. The first T-Bird is well executed and I'll give a A+ for attention to detail, but the finished car looks like a mild custom shortened Plymouth. The second 'Bird has a good front end, but the owner missed the boat (and the dock) at the rear. The Stude is by far the best of the bunch, and wouldn't look out of place anywhere.
The stude looks ten years newer than it is, well done for sure! I happen to like both of the birds, especially the first one. The second looks like a '53 merc in the front to me.
