    • No? Brent! With the roundness of the guards bonet the squareness of the wheel look don't make the look quite right. With this Vehicle it's more of a circular finishes even in the designs of it's Bumpers back not so much but the front mostaush gives it that roundness. So No I say don't ruin what's it's great look. That squareness ruins it.

  • Water Fall, it's like a chrome racing stripe that's low enough to see it. Dash is beyond cool. Topless and hard top will be worth it. Like to see orchard tractor style fenders on backwards. Opening song reminded of late after school our band teacher had that same style music record on and was pretending to conduct with the white wand, When the door behind me closed, he stopped and turned around, His eye glasses completely fogged from sweat and I'll never forget that smile. You took me back 48 years. Thanks.

Widen the back fenders so you can see them when the truck is coming down the road with a wild Grill & widen back fenders? Only a suggestion I'm shire everyone else has something in mind.
