Ill obviousely make this fit , But hows the styling suit ?

I like the curve matching with the EK bonnet peak "As it should from factory IMHO"

Guards are finish welded - happy with the results

And heres a couple pics from the trip to Junee (Marks) and the dead Zot box at Marulin

Wonder the roof didn't cave in

Depends on the grille, the overiders might kill it.

Maybe flip it upside down and loose the overiders?

Thanks for the feedback , Its very much apreciated , I was going to start cutting it up and shaping it to fit , But in the back of my mind I thought it will look too much like Im trying to copy the 56 Chev look

Ill let you in on my way of thinking , I like to keep my ideas and when I feel they are nailing what I am trying to acheive I try not to share

If I know what Im trying to achieve and cant decide Ill share it for you guys to have some input , Kinda looking from the point of veiw that in the end we all had a part in building this

And then when theres no input geez it drives me up the wall

so please input no matter who you are

The bumper could be made to look good Harko.
Check out some of the pics of the Victorian Hot Rod Show,
in particular, The two Cusso's (Pics 5&6.)
they have a very similar bumper to yours on a similar shaped car to yours.

Also check out the 57Chev with the dagmars removed (pic 4)
That could look good too.

Keep up the good work

Cheers
Jeff

Yep can see why, makes it look boxy....

Mmmm will think some more, but I'd steer away a bit from chevy stuff as you said it yourself, might give the wrong impression.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey while we are on the topic of bumpers ,Has anyone heard that welding with a mig causes oxygen bubbles when the bars have been chromed .

And in the back of my head Ive heard a mate say he had some bits dye cast for his Austin

So maybe I can come up with something from scratch with the grille surround , blinkers ets

Oh and the celica bar/bars ,are they this model ?
