Performed a Little bit of clean up on the Bijou on photoshop to get a better idea how she'll look all with the replacement plastic on the '53 hood emblems shield and virtual block sanding and paint... What do y'all think?

Looks really nice. I can't wait to hear of all the 'double takes" that you get from folks when they first see your car!

One question: How hard is it to see out of the windshield?

I like it! I like it a lot ! How far is the real car from the photoshop image? In my experience, block sanding can take hundreds of hours.

Thank you LT4Man! I get all kinds of reactions everyday as it is my daily driver and has been since I started this project. It's much easier to see out of than it looks.
Thank you Mike! I am honored and flattered by your kind words!
Thank you Oldblue!
Thank you lasater! The real thing isn't far from the photoshop images, but I still have plenty of block sanding hours ahead of me!
