I did so.
As found:
Downsized the wheel size, changed the exhaust system and added a door handle, plus some cleanup:
Mild section:
Plus a mild chop:
In that this started as a custom, I'm not certain the purists will comment, but I welcome their, and your comments.
Enjoy!

I was quite surprised to see you add door handles and downsize the wheel/tires on number two both of which I think look great.

This is a definite improvement on the original.

I agree with Bob; #2 is the best version.

@bob-jackman: I've been leaving door handles on or adding them to most of my more recent edits. You gentlemen have convinced me that they are needed. As for the wheel size, I am not a fan of oversized wheels on nearly all cars that have them, especially older hot rods or customs. In my opinion, they just don't work on most cars. I appreciate your, David and Jack's comments.
