    Kind of a Mickey Mouse lookin' thing. It's too far forward but I don't think it would look good even if it was in the right position. If you use silver paint on your bumpers instead of flat black it would look much better.
    A friend had a 4 door 55 Chevy with black bumpers. He had it for sale for over a year. He kept dropping his price till I bought it. I painted the bumpers with a spray can of "chrome" paint and doubled my money the next week on ebay. Try it. You can always go back if you don't like it.

    Seriously consider rhinoplasty!!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    This is the post I was on last night when the site shut down on me. Did that happen to anybody else?

    I don't remember exactly what I said, That was a few hours ago... ya' know how short term memory is the second thing ta' go? I don't remember what the first thang' iz'.

    My post was something like this....
    I prefer functionality. If it serves a "Real' useful purpose than it's o.k. If it's just there "No"

    To me, it looks kinda wacky sitting on the front like that, I belive that a 56-57 ( maby even others ) style T Bird scoop would compliment the hood and would look cool. This is just my opinion and, everybodys opinion is diffrent.
