Edit: I've seen a few flashier examples, but I'd love to see a LeSabre T-Type of this period done in this manner, where it looks like a totally stock car was dropped onto a race chassis.
I'm not a fan of the build overall but this car has periodically popped into my head for probably a couple decades now because of the hood with its raised center detail flattened about a third of the way from the cowl edge.
I get that whole smoothing fad that's particularly popular in VW modding circles. The deletion of some of the clunkier details can enhance the shape of them, but the Beetles hood/bonnet shape is where it got its nickname in the first place!
