Nice, but I will just keep the original. The changes just makes is look plain.

#3 added road clearance. (I suspect that the original has air bags and, at rest/parked, it sits at ground level.)

I like the original but with a bit more clearance; although as has been stated, it likely has air suspension. On a side note, I would like to see a similarly customized '40 Chev nose on it; in keeping with the Chevrolet theme.

@jack-dodds: Not sure I understand what you wish to see, Jack. Did you want a '40 Chev nose added to this '40 Ford or would you like to see a '40 Chevrolet done in Nomad fashion?

@tldaly I was thinking of a '40 Chevy front to replace the Ford; more in keeping the look all Chevy.
