Looks nice Allan. I always thought the Chevy coupe's styling looked 'heavy' compared to the Ford coupe (IMHO).

This should look good when modified though.

I've always found it strange thet GM had almost the perfect coupe with the '37 Chev, all they needed to do was take some height out of the grille. Instead they screwed it up and created the machine pictured, whilst Henry wowed the world with a design so perfect that even today all it needs is the right stance and wheels, nothing more.

Not trying to steel your thread but heres my rendition of this car. I built this quite a long time ago, probably 15 years ago. I put BMW wheels on it.

Is it me or is the kit roof more domed than the 1:1?
The sunvisor doesn't do it any favours but at least the newer box art doesn't look as awfull as the lowrider release.
