But it isn't my car, just my opinion! and no ones paid me to run their wheels ever!
Not my car either, but I sure do agree with Mike! Last "big" show I went to I got so tired of looking at all the "look alike" coupes and roadsters.....I think I saw every variation of red/buckskin cars imaginable!

It's going to take something unique to make the car look personalized. A personal note, when I got my '57 I had a few too many "experts" tell me everything the car HAD to have to be an old style gasser clone that I just flat gave up listening to anyone about it and decided to build what I wanted...Now the car is a fun build again!!!! Oh yeah, last 30's coupe I built was "back-halved" with 1 5/8" tubing, had a 12 point cage, an ex-sprint car style (ie all lightened up) Brodix aluminum block and heads and an old "mid rise" Offy dual four intake, narrowed up quick change (bought at a circle burner swap meet) complete with pinion yoke driven cooling pump, two aluminum drag car seats with some extra foam under the upholstery.

I seriously doubt you'll succumb to the pressure of "how it has to be", just wanted to toss in my 3 cents worth (up a penny due to cost of living increases).
