Can you explain this a little more ... Cant quite grasp what you are sending .

I do get your drift with the bonnet edge being turned over and welded to form the edge , I guess you mean to for a kinda roll pan where the bumper originall was and then nerf bars instead of the bumper .

I tend to see the shape of this front lending itself better to the squarer grille for a subtle factory look .

Tube grilles are awesome but funily enough I dont class this as a full custom , just a mild custom .

Like the pearl orange sedan you had too , have you noticed my roof is planned to almost be the same colour .. :wink:

Thanks guys. was working with a very good mate of mine on ideas awhile back and we came up with it but he decided to stay original and steered off the mod idea so i grafted it onto harko's car for you guys to have a look at. i like it myself. like harko said. kinda gives it a chevy look but still screams out i'm a EK. lol. cheers guys.
Harko let me know if there something possibly i can photshop for ya. not amazing on it but i can work my way around the program good enough to pull off most ideas. cheers. glad you all liked it.

I thought about using fb chrome (bonner bar and under headlights)
using my spear grille but having the indicators on the spear - more like a 57 chevy not really 58.

Was trying to figure out a way how I could use all the EK chrome, but get rid of the badge on the bonnet bar.

if u dont do that idea harko i will :P

Nice woodie. I've seen similar at a show in Maldon a few years back. Except it was EK bar and indicators with FB grille and indicators. That looked good too.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.
