    Man that thing looks killer, I really like the color. Get her a couple of inches closer to the earth and she will be right on

    I may be one of the few, but Ive never been a huge shoebox fan, but yours looks really nice. I think the ride height is fine, but hey, lower is always better. The chop is perfect for the car. I think my distaste with most 49-50's is a chop that is too much and throws the proportions off a lot, which seems to show more on these cars than most, but I think you got it dead on.

    Huh, is that car a Business Coupe? Because I noticed it was missing the stainless trim around the windows and I could had SWORE that car was a Tudor to start with.

    It's all come together so nicely. The purple paint really sets it off, IMO. Great job!!!
