Here's one I've just started. The tail lights will be tunneled bullets. The running boards are filled and smothed. The hood is filled and de-chromed. It still needs some attenton. The body will be de-chromed and have the exposed door hinges removed. I have not deceided what to do with the stock grill and headlights. I'm thinking frenched single head lights, but I'm not sure yet. Any ideas and advice would be appreciated. images28.fotki.com/v1027/photos/6/62623/584119/DSCN0011-vi.jpg[/img]

How about converting it to the one peice '39 grille? Shouldn't be too hard Held an AMT 39 grill up to it. Looks like it'll fit without a lot of work. I'm gonna do the headlights first, as I have to remove the top brace between the fenders to fit the grill. More pics as this progresses.

I'm using the stock headlight buckets, but smoothing and molding them into the fenders. Final deciesion an the grill is still up in the air.
