I agree... you have to add your own style to make the car "yours"...

Artist are not driven by comments of others- they create and produce through dreams and visions of happiness --
Most of us do not have this talent. We only get to observe!

are you going to make a filler panel for the taillight housing? something that might look more sweet would be to use the oval era bullet turn signal housing with the cadillac tailight- it would look much more finished. this 62-67 taillight housing with the cadillac light looks like its missing parts and you can see the housings mounting flanges. nice attempt and effort, but it needs tweaking!
