in all its gaudy glory. Though not really a fan of this GTX genre, the black color made it more presentable but it needed a different personality, in my view.

Your views?
Enjoy!

I think the fender mounted indicators were there by law - weren't they? Perhaps the designers would have preferred to submit #2, too.

I prefer the look of the second example but to be honest this original car never grabbed me at all.

I like the original. Sorry.
Same here...there’s something very appealing about chrome...

@terryslekar, I generally agree. But, there are certainly examples where the removal of some chrome trim can be very tasteful. The Bullitt Mustang and Mannix Dart come to mind. I think this is exactly what your well-done work shows us, Terry. They are tasteful enhancements of the original design. I see them as making the final product a unique version of the original, something I might consider doing if I had that car and the resources to do the work.

Thanks for your positive comments, John, they are appreciated. You, and others on this forum, have seen enough of my work to know that I'm firmly a 'more is less' advocate.
