"From my igloo"!!!! OMFG! My stomach hurts! Took me 10 mins. to get to replying after I saw that! Too funny!
Ahhhh! I'm not usually a fan of fordors, but the '36 front sheet metal is one of my all-time favourites! But, DAMN!, the rears are suicide! I see old tin like that, & I can just see the possiblities!
Hmmmm...2" chop. Big n' littles, red wheels, wide whites, poverty caps & skinny beauty rings. Rack & pinion. Black suede with some cool pinstripes. A little bit of 'Tiki'?
Do the interior in almost the original style, just change it around a bit. Clean up the design, then use an original material, like a steel grey/dark grey combo, in mohair. A little bit of red, to tie into the wheels. Add some same-era Cadillac rear facing jump seats. The ones that pop outa the front seat backs. Some popup footrests for the rear seat passengers. (There's a ton of room back there!) Make all the foam in the seats feel like a big old overstuffed couch. Cup holders. Secret compartments. Power everything! Hidden sound system.
But a 700R4 w/3.55's.
Ooops! Got carried away there for a sec! Went a little crrrazy! Lol! The thread jack's over!
(Notetoself...Try to stop thinking out loud.)

Installed my HID Retrofitted Hella 500's today, also cleaned up the wiring for them

Also installed some mudflaps on the rear :(, didn't want to but the paint is literally gettting sandblasted off.
