Foxer Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The more I look, the more I believe those beautifully shaped rear fenders belong here than on the mixed up mess they came off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks for the encouragement guys. I'm a lot happier with the profile now that I shortened the rear fenders. I feel that it has a more balanced look. Next I need to find a front valance that compliments the look of the Merc. Instead of a cruiser sled I think the car has more of a pro touring muscle car feel. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathskull59 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 wow that thing was ugly before and it starting to look good now looks pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Found a front valance! I wanted a modern big mouth look to the grille. This came fron the Dodge Sidewinder pick-up concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 The new valance needs work. I'm going to give the top edge a lip and fill in that awkword relief on the bottom. The lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
