Default New Project! '53 Mercury Monterey 2dr. Hardtop

Well, she's not in my garage yet, but she soon will be. I think she'll end up being the closest thing to a restoration that I've attempted. I'm torn between a simple lowering job with skirts, custom 'caps and a factory paint scheme and option B: mild custom with different trim, a de-scooped hood, '54 merc taillights, shaved door handles, spotlites, and frenched headlights, still with aforementioned lowering job, skirts, caps and factory paint scheme. What do you think?

It's also got the accessory steering wheel (which admittedly needs work) and front bumper fog lights!
