that I find pleasing. Though not normally a fan of big wheels on mild customs, these oversized steelies work here, especially with the rings and police center caps. But, as found, it looks nose heavy to me and I did a few edits to make the front end less massive and more refined. I also deleted some trim and body features in an effort to make the profile of the car flow more smoothly.

As found:

57 Chevrolet BelAir HT   Mild Custom   PS1

Smoothed body and front end but no size reduction:

57 Chevrolet BelAir HT   Mild Custom   PS2

Slimmed the bumper and grill bar:

57 Chevrolet BelAir HT   Mild Custom   PS3

Further front end refinement:

57 Chevrolet BelAir HT   Mild Custom   PS4

Do any of the changes make the car more appealing to you?

Enjoy!
