    Be sure to rough up that cardboard before you put the filler on.

    Seriously though, can you explain what's going on here? What goes below the headlight? Need more info.

    No way! The (did you go with 55 buick?) bullets are so cool! Really helps to balance things out, along with the roll pan. I love it.

    yes, the nose was definitely inspired somewhat from the golden sahara,,

    the headlights are 56 lincoln....

    squablow,,the headlight area will have textured or expanded metal with some sort of a parking light,,i played around with quad headlights too,,but didnt really like the look that much,,,,,the bulet bumpers are the same as on the rear of the car - 55 packard front bumper bullets,,

    OK, now I see what you're doing. Maybe some '52 Ford parking light lenses would look cool on there or something like that.
