Looks good! The wheel change definitely helps.

I think you are on the right track.

the wheels sure change the look.

the frenched in plate area... if done differently would have looked good.

I like the hideaway license plates too. Not sure if they are legal in most states or not

gonna change the frog rearlights too ,i have to steal the idea from 4T64RD
67 corvette turned a 1/4, gives a smooth look

thx all

The back looks a lot smoother now.

Just a suggestion... picture how the back of the car would look if you rounded the bottom corners of the trunk lid to match the radius of the new tail lights.Then everything in the back view including the back window would be rounded. What you have done with the tail lights is a nice improvement regardless.

feel free to comment things you wanted to change i'll collect them all and see what to use

Hi Art, looks great

i think chimp nailed it with his suggestion, can i offer 2 more?
if i owned something that good, i would tuck the rear bumper up to the body & add a couple of overriders..
& i actually liked the number plate recess, i just would have rounded out the corners for it.
( but seeing as you removed it i guess you dont want to put it back

)
Either way, it's still a sweet ride

thx Rog, bumpers were on the list and will be done ,overriders, they are hard to find but i sure would like to try some to see how it looks

started vryday with the front managed to get it almost done

Boy I don't know but it looks as though the front end is a bit high. Couldn't you get it a bit lower?
