which I've presented before, on this Forum. This repost is to add a couple of later photo edits that further changed the car's appearance. It is hands-down the most well-crafted shoebox Ford I've seen.
As found:
Mildly altered:
Slimmed bumper and grill plus dechroming:
Finally, with a hardtop roofline:
The hardtop roofline addition was my last edit and if a full custom shoebox ever supported same, this would be the one!
Your comments are welcome, and enjoy!

I like pic #3 with the slimmed down Ford grille present for nostalgia but I would add the chrome side trim from pic #2.

@bob-jackman: I'm a bit surprised, Bob, you generally select the unmodified version. Why this choice?

@jack-dodds: If I remember correctly, this is the same choice you made in the past posting after I added back the 'Ford' bullet grill, though a bit modified. This time, I removed the side trim just to see what it looked like.

@tldaly I like the clean look without the bullet and the 51 hood without the peak. I didn't see that I had a choice for the unmodified version.

@bob-jackman: The 'as found' version, #1, was as Sam Foose finished the car. The others were edited.

Sorry. My definition of unmodified means stock which was not an option.
