Glen, they both look fantastic! I’ve seen chopped Henry J s  done as drag or pro Street cars and they look nice even with the short wheelbase when done as a drag car, However I never thought one could make a nice lead sled because of the short proportions.  
However, you cracked the code by lengthening it.  Excellent work! -Mark

R&R Vacuum Craft cast a Manhattan many years back.  I wish I had one because if I did, I would send it your way in the hopes that you would do something like this with it. There have been several 1:1 Manhattan sleds done and I personally love them.  Your Henry J gives me the same vibe though.  I love all your models.  You are great with styrene and resin.

mark, i have seen a few manhattans customs. they have a different look stock with the high roof. but the customs have that roof flattened out and that lowered seems to make it look longer also. ya manhattan bodies are a lot harder to obtain. thanx guys

That's pretty darn cool, great job!

Such a fantastic piece of work!! Who knew how nice the cadillac fins would look on the 51 J!

A stretch-J. Now that's creative. Nice work.

Beautiful custom!

The stock Henry J had a hint of the Caddy fins and they look right at home on the now not so little car! Beautiful work!

I'm impressed! The finished item looks quite natural and  flows better than I ever would have imagined a Henry J could...and the WIP shots show why. What a lot of Frankenstein-ing! You must have had a very clear vision for this car to have pulled it together from all those fragments.
