Had some quick PS mods and color changes made. The red looks good obviously but decided on black paint, maybe some flames, 17" C1 Corvette style wheels. Looks like a kustom but will sit on a serious g-machine chassis with a BBC or a LT-5 and a 6 speed. It only took me 2.5 years to arrive at a final decision for the design...lol.
#2 is my first choice.

#2. IMO it still needs a white roof. LOL.
Its going to be a wicked 55 either way.
I like 3 with the stacks and flames. To me nothing screams hot rod like a tri 5 with old school flames.

Those all look good, it's been fun to follow you along as you "hone in" on a design for this car. I really like the wheels, do those exist?

i'd want the flames and then a little extra lenght in the tail pipes with flame throwers - i know it may sound corny but i love to see big old cars shooting flames out the back in the evening -- you can't go wrong with any of them Skip -- It will be sweet!

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate your feedback.
Yes, Billet Specialties made them for Roy Brizio's '55 which is why I wanted the graphic artist to use that car it to base his chops off of.
This article on the car says they are a one offs, 17x8 and 18x10.

It's tough to get a real good look at the back one but here's a few of both.
Not sure I'd use them, but I also like the custom parking light they made up.
