and probably doesn't need anything, but I still wished to see how a couple of edits looked.

As found:ย 

40 Ford   Full Custom (2)

Cleaned up and bumpers removed:

40 Ford   Full Custom (2)   PS7

Took some chop out of the top and extended the roofline:

40 Ford   Full Custom (2)   PS8

Any comments?

Enjoy!

As found. When I see a custom without bumpers it always looks incomplete to me.

@tldaly Bumper guards removed is okay as long as the bumpers remain.

My usual statement for Hot Rods & Customs; No bumpers, no fenders, no like.ย
