but while loving the car, I never liked the too busy front bumper with the Lincoln bumper guards and grill protector. I also believed the car might look better with less stuff on it. Then I got to editing the top and body, just to see what it looked like and offer selected results for your viewing pleasure.
As found:
Mildly dechromed with the bumper cleaned up:
With the 3" top chop returned to about normal top height:
Normal top height with the body sectioned at the beltline:
Section remains with the original 3" top chop:
I invite your courteous comments. Do you prefer the original or one of the edits?
Enjoy!
