Started both of these a long time ago... go back to them now and then... do a little and put 'em back on the shelf. I know this one has a couple new school things, like the extended quarter windows and drooped front fenders, but the lines are better that way. This one just kept getting farther and farther out of hand... I think it owns me. I've changed direction so many times, it might never get finished. Hell, the hood alone has parts from three different cars, not counting the scoop! You can see enough of the body work and filler pieces to see how both of them have been done.

Like I said, Duane, I think that one owns me... I keep changing it... adding, subtracting. One of these days it will let me finish it. Truthfully, this is the first time I've had whitewalls under the first one. It's always been nose down and mag wheels... decided ta see how it looked backdated and I like it. Looks like I need ta find some more whites and caps... maybe skirts, too.

I love the first one! The swept up rear pan looks great.
The second one looks like arse. In my worthless opinion. Which was unsolicited.

The first one has some great lines. The "flow" from the front end to the rear is excellent, and the "boat-tail" rear end treatment is amazing. The second one looks like Dracula's Delahaye... very cool!

Those are both neat to look at! I like them as-is - living, changing art.

That's two great fleet if you want my opinion ! The first had some very kool feature such as the entire rear, or the way you raked the front fenders... it can look mild compared to the second, but it's not ! I know i won't be original if i say the second look like Batman's Fleet , but it's very cartoonish...looks like a sculpture , and i like each and every curves on that sexy space ship !

The second one looks like Dracula's Delahaye... very cool! I agree! Don't be ashamed of the "drooping" fenders. Leave 'em! It's a kool touch and decidedly different, and still keeps the feel of TRADITIONAL. The boattail is Killa'Kool! Now that 2nd ride, yeah, it looks like a Gotham Taxi cab, or a Dick Tracy kinda thing, but it is also kool in it's own right. Got me thinkin' on a couple of design elements on my fleet of Fleetlines. :-)

Jon, the 1st one is sweet. Before reading the other responses I was calling the second one "fat bat" in my head. They both need to get finished, but the second one is screaming "do me first"
