New Front End?

This is an old truck that I drive by every day (sorry it's bad, the flash reflected on my window).


I love the front end and was wondering what it would look like on an HHR. This is what I came up with:



I don't have any graphic programs on my computer so I had to put my art degree to use. I just traced a printout of an HHR and redid the front end the "best" I could (or felt like doing at the time). My wife thinks it's fairly ugly, and I'm not sure I disagree with her. What say the rest of you? Anybody feel like making a better digital version?

Everyone has there their own ideas and what they would like to do. Some refinements and you might have something. If I had a crayon I would have trouble staying within the lines that how my artistic abilities suck.

Yeah, I say get that oldie, chop the top and add some VROOOM, youre golden.
They do have kits something like that for the HHR, and I have seen pics here somewhere with the round lights too.

The issue is the HHR is a 1948 design and that old truck is a '30s design. It just doesn't look right. However it's your HHR.


BTW: Jared that is the nicest sig I have ever seen.

Like thePickup, '46-'47? Looks like good Ratrod, what engine/trans you running? As far as your drawing not bad for free hand not being an artist either. It would be an interesting job to do,but I think it would make the front
look too high as the hood is flat an doesn't have the slope that the late '47 to
'55 truck hoods had.
