I prefer the view with ww with perhaps a strong moulding pin-strip, rather than the advert for wheels.
Emphasis of wheels is common, subtle changes and the body form is a better choice if you seek peoples' interest.
Good that you like genuine features; a Parts Manual will help you with these details, body chop completion suits.

If I was going to have a hot rod or custom, a flaming skull is a must!

West,

Does it really matter that it started life as a junior? You modeled some amazing-looking mongrels.


In my ploy to deceive, I didn't realize that the car I was "modifying" wasn't even the same as the one offered on Craigslist/eBay. I was just pointing out that the "real" modified car is a Junior model, and the one I Photoshopped is a Super Eight. Very different in size, and in front fender shape.

In chopping and channeling, the car really suits the non-sidemount fender profile. Normally, on 1937 and earlier cars, I prefer sidemounts... 1938 and newer, cars look much better without sidemounts, in my opinion. And I definitely went too far in adding fender skirts.

As an added note, what I've done is exactly what the marketing department did when illustrating their cars for catalogs.
