Old thread I know but have you started on this project? If not then I would keep it pretty stock... I like custom vehicles but I own a rare 46 Chrysler 3 window business coupe that supposedly only 700 and something were made from 46-48 so I plan to keep mine all original just for this fact of it being so rare. Or else I would have lowered it, chopped it some, etc etc.
I like weird and odd vehicles like that one above even though some can look bulky and ugly to most, I like em.
