I too like it unchopped though it does need "something" but not sure what. I'm partial to the '32 style grille shell which might have the effect of looking a little longer in the front.

{We have a ski equipped C130 Antarctic support group about 6-8 miles from my home -I was a member after my army tour, but they had C97's then - and should think about a photo of my car at their display aircraft eventually}
