Newbies WIP, comments please...

Hello all, u.k. member here. Lovely kits on here, what do you think of my '55. Trying to get a kind of street legal hi-boy/gasser style. Have chopped off front bumper, and jacked up suspension all round.

That's a good look. Maybe a bit more tire in the back. A simple single roll hoop.
