I just finished this and it's ready for primer.  It's an Original Johan 1959 Plymouth Fury.

 

What's been done:

- Lowered on Modelhaus 430 tires and Modelhaus Cadillac Saber wheels

-Removed all the trim and badges (except the rock guards on the rear wheel wells) along with filling in the fuel filler door and rounding the trailing edge of the fins

-Up Front: 1955 Chrysler headlights x4 & 1956 Plymouth grill bar modified with scratch built grill bar wrap arounds on the sides

-Up Front: Scratch build blade bumper, pan and surrounding headlight sheet metal, lowered the bottom of the hood and blended it with adjacent sheet metal

-Up Front: Sloped the fender tops down a scale inch so the fender tops didn't look so ridged / Terminated the wheel well flare like a 1960 Dodge Fender

-In The Rear:  Filled the openings for the old taillights and license plate and made the bumper recess one smooth line with not interruptions across the back of the car

-In The Rear: Scratch built the rear bumper and pan / Installed 1965 Chevy taillights

The style of this model of car is just over the top and you can go so many ways with it.

I love what you have accomplished so far.

Great looking work so far.

Tastefully done, well thought-out and integrated modifications that enhance a cars original lines and character rather than obscuring or competing with them are the highest form of the customizer's art, and you're hitting it.

Well done.
