Since you're asking for opinions I think it has potential. Main things I would change - Get rid of the iron cross mirror, align the drivers side door, bring the tail lights down about 3 inches, put the over rider bumpers back on, loose the 4 tip exhaust (please dont replace it with a stinger), and narrow that front beam. As well if you narrow the front beam and dont add some dropped spindles it's going to pull the tires further forward and cause some rubbing on the headlight buckets, plus it looks much better when the tires are centered in the fender. I'd also either have those rims chromed or polish them til they appear to be chrome. If you're still in Cali try to find a '63 black plate at a swap. My 2 cents.
