HD, you've got me interested in your Edsel. i'd love to see a new rearend treatment on one and, i think if anyone can come up with any kind of treatment, YOU can. as i said above though, it's your build and i don't feel that you need any help from me lol.

HD... a common taillight treatment was to use a second set of outer ends to replace he inner turned down sections... really looked good. The front bumpers definitely need to be lightened with the new headlights... maybe just taking a horizontal slice out of the stock units would work with reshaped pans to fit. I'd add a rounded "nose" on the hood, too, to match the shape of the grille.

If it dont work then i´ll just have to come up with something else! thanx for sharing your thoughs!

But i actually have those bumpers also...and i think they could work...just have to make them longer...they are a little bit short, but that shouldnt be a big problem... but thanx again for the offer!
