PICS: A 1950 Chevrolet 4-door Fastback Sedan Mild Custom in a pleasing color and one that is rarely customized, because it is a 'more door'....

I like pics 2 and 4 best.  Removal of the B pillar really enhances the look as a custom.

I'll go with #2

Picture #4 for me. The car looks 100% better as a two door IMO.

Thank you, gentlemen. I particularly appreciate your endorsement, Bob. It appears that you're beginning to appreciate modifications from stock, on select cars. I, too, believe this one looks better as a two door. 

@tldaly Terry, I'm an old guy who has owned over 100 1/1 scale cars over the years, While all but two were original unmodified, I did two that were not. In 1956 I bought a 1950 Mercury coupe which I spent four years modifying. Here's a list of the things I did to that car:

Shaved the hood and deck lid.

Rounded the hood corners.

Shaved the door handles and put in poppers.

Cut 144 louvers in the hood.

Frenched in the headlights.

Frenched in 52 Buick tail lights.

Cut off the fuel filler and welded in the gas lid.

Got an electric radio antennae from a local wrecking yard.

Put in a 1954 Chevy grill and parking lights with extra teeth.

Full length lake pipes.

By 1958 the original flat head motor was getting tired. The same local wrecking yard had gotten a 1958 Oldsmobile 371 CID J2 motor and Hydramatic in a car that was totaled in the rear. After much engineering I managed to get that drive train to fit in the Mercury.

The front seat was out of a 1955 Buick Roadmaster two door hardtop.

My second non stock car was a 1929 Model A Ford Roadster high boy which I built twelve years ago. The body was an all steel Brookville reproduction and here's what I used to build that car:

The frame was built by a friend specifically to fit that body.

The drive train was a Ford 302 CID block out of a 1994 Ford pickup.

The heads were out of a K Motor 289.

The cam was a mild Comp as I wanted something that was reliable as I was not building a race car.

The intake and carb were Edlebrock Performer.

The ignition has an HEI.

The gages were Stewart Warner.

The grill shell was a steel reproduction 32

The exhaust started with Hooker headers tied to duals with Smithy mufflers.

The tail lights were from a 39 Ford.

the rear end was from a Chevy S10 pickup with Posi.

The steering column was an Ididit unit with tilt.

The steel wheels were 15 inch although the fronts were 5 inches wide while the rears were 8 inches

The car weighed 1800 pounds with 300 HP which made it quite quick.

The front suspension was a dropped axle with a transverse mounted spring while the rear had coil overs.

I guess you can see that while I prefer original cars I'm not adverse to something different from time to time.

 My present collector cars are a 1961 Corvette, a 1963 Thunderbird Sports Roadster and a 1955 Imperial Newport hardtop.

@bob-jackman: Would very much enjoy photos of the Merc and Ford Roadster if you wish to share them. I've also owned many cars in my lifetime though not nearly as many as you have. If memory serves, I've modified more than half of them in some manner. Thanks for sharing your story.

Terry, The only picture I can find of the Mercury is one I took with a Brownie. I do have pictures of the hotrod and while I have no skills posting pictures I will try to get someone to do it for me.

Thanks, Bob.
