Maybe shift the nose north (up) a tad or two to get an "anti-rake" stance. A classic Gasser style!
Off to a great start no matter what!

I owned a 1:1 '64 Rambler American 440 Hardtop for a bit, and was planning to give it a similar treatment.
I was going to call it "Nashty Habit" - had a design for a pinup in fishnets and a cropped nun's habit for the trunklid.

Thanks for the compliments gents! Oh yeah, the nose will be higher, this was just some precursory fitting. "Nashty Habit" very cool idea.

Dave! The "Nashty Habit" looks great! I like the spokes up front. I am still trying to decide if I want to do a grungy weekend racer, or a slick Gasser style with nice wheels and paint, ala the Hrudka Brothers or Mazmanian.
When I started, I planned on a light blue metallic, like the interior, with the red wheels out back and stock hubcaps with whitewalls up front. I was thinking of leaving the sheet metal (back seat) silver. You know, just a race car. We will see what happens.
Thanks again guys for the compliments. Juhap, you have got to post or send me some finished pics of your Rambler.
