-The grille shell finally came in! - October 19

I'm not gonna lie, I had to look up what it means to "channel" a car; but now I know! Thanks! :D I'm hoping soon there will be some more progress for me to get some pictures of. Right now he's fighting with the transmission on this:

Steering column is in

They're in the shop right now working on the rear axle ...
 
Well you asked for opinions, so I'll be honest - It sucks. It's a winged boot-like apparatus with a harley belt buckle glued to it? I'm not seeing the relationship to the vehicle - not in subject matter and definitely not in flow or proportion. It would look fine on a shelf, but sticks out like a donkey's genitalia on that car...
 
I agree with BED.....just not quite so frankly....lol

It's really different but I don't think it suits the car....maybe if it were a bit smaller????? But....ultimately.....if you like it....it's all that matters...I had people constantly ask me why I put a 1956 Chevy Hood ornament on my 96 GMC....my response...."cause I think it looks cool".....can't find the picture..I'll locate it and send it later....it does look cool...honest...
