mostly due to the very heavy nearly deformed grill/bumper. I generally like this body style, very much liked the color and quality of the metal work but the front clip needed revision, in a much more subtle manner. 

As found:

5x Ford T Bird   Jimmy Giminez

Modified:

5x Ford T Bird   Jimmy Giminez   PSX

 Did my edits help or hurt this car?

Enjoy!

Your edits help tremendously Terry.  The only positive thing I can say about pic #1 is that the customizer had the good sense to lose the connie.  Lol.

@bob-jackman, John Kuvakas & Jack Dodds: Thanks, gentlemen. I'm not a fan of canted headlights but can live with this one, post-edit. Bob Jackman, be still my heart. This is high praise from you and much appreciated. I'm gratified that all of you, given your differences in automobile types, found this one acceptable.
