The "Well dressed Stocker" - what are they wearing?

Technology blended with fashion; what would you change in a freshen-up on a dated platform.....not the things that rule changes have allowed or dictated, but parts that have made the old stuff obsolete or stale in appearance.

We're shooting for a "Best Appearing" and "Best Engineered" at the same event !

Here's a "Dated Platform" with Lots of attention to the detail/s (inside - outside & under) and the performance to back it up!

I agree attention to detail. Then think outside the "box". I like a street rod theme in a way. Color choice stance. Also you can do alot with just the way you paint something. You can do sutle changes that will make a car look longer, lower etc. I personally like the cars that the tail lights work and it just has that touch of something extra. I will use my fathers car for reference of it is "different". We just liked the street rods that were around here so that is what we went with. But, with blacking out the window vent trim it "looks" like it has a one piece side windows, no bird on the hood but the peak of the hood is continued down etc. It is just sutle changes that you would have to know a 56 to recognize the changes. What are you planning on building? go with a "Newstalgia" theme?
