PICS: A 46-48 Ford coupe, in its original guise, one of my favorite....
mild customs just because it's so beautifully done. However, it looks far too short and stubby, to my eye, and I decided to change things a bit just to see what it looked like.
As found:

Slightly chopped, sectioned, extended wheelbase and dechromed:

With radiused rear wheel opening:

Please comment like the gentlemen we all know that you are.
Enjoy!

Did show the 'As Found' photo before but the modified photos are all new. .......
The earlier modifications retained bumpers plus I've shortened the skirts on the car with same. The paint is also considerably different on the car with skirts. Good eye, though, Jack.

These years Ford Coupe's are so special to me than I can really only appreciate as built.
But I do appreciate your talent though, Terry.
