I grew up looking at a '55 Nomad and that's the only style rear qtr. I'd have on my '55.
Also makes changing wheels and tires a whole lot easier.

Love them and the abbreviated quarter trim to clear the wheelwell is slick too! Looks like your biggest problem will be picking a color(s)! I'd love to see a few other subtle P/T styling cues peppered around that car to surprise people. Maybe a unique grille treatment, hood vents, spoiler or a diffuser coming through the rear bumper??? Just thinking out loud and i'm a firm believer in less is more but I look forward to seeing what other trick ideas you come up with!

Jason,
The plan is to add some of the P-T styling components you mentioned.
Not the easiest car to make some of those things work on. Rad Rides '62 'Chicayne' used those items you mentioned and they really flowed with Chevy's original design.
I also agree with the less is more philosphy, like Roy Brizio does whose car was used for the chops. I included it so you can really see the changes. The only thing we didn't finish was having the rear chrome trim strip line up with the ridge line on the front fender. The sky blue chop with the graphite wheels centers (borrowed from Dale Jr's Camaro) has that mod.
