I like the paint design, but, I'm sorry, cars that are that low just look dumb to me. My vote is to raise it up about 3-4 inches.

the grille is a 1955 buick roadmaster center piece...

as far as low...it will be bagged...

Timmy,
I think it's really GREAT looking! Of course, you can see where I'm coming from, I decided to go for a 60's look on my wire wheels and whitewalls rather than 50's. It's a Roadmaster but it has the Caprice chrome rocker and wheel well trim. It's bagged and I hope to get Mike's lights too, you think they are too "Hi-Tech" for a retro look?. But tell me how you plan to create the molding?? You can buy chrome plastic stick-on oval portholes on eBay! And are you going to use an actual Buick Grille Center? I've been trying to figure out a chrome grille I like but..... thinking of wire mesh with a chrome surround like the Bentley or Chysler 300 Strut Grille...but who makes them? And maybe Nomad tailgate chrome strips. I also think your side lights should stay in some form.
Good Luck with it

i actually think i am still going to run the BMW lighting...as far as tailgate strips that is a negative...the rear view photoshop will reviel why...as for the side markers...they are going to get shaved...the grill that is currently in the car and will stay is that of a 1955 Buick Roadmaster and what the center piece from that....

thanks for the good words and creative critisisms...
