I too like the subtle mods.The ones that make you think what's different.I really like mods that are simple but effective.I saw a van years ago that had one of the most unusual mods.It was lowered about 2 1/2-4 but looked almost slammed.The owner had repaired the lower body panels and added a section an 1 1/2 to make the truck look lower.He finally told me what it was after I looked at it for a couple hours at a show.Rounded hood,trunklid and door corners are also a subtle mod if done correctly.Frenching headlights or taillights look good as long as they are done in a style to go with the whole theme.The other thing is the mods need to go together aand blend well,like the final look was planned instead of just throwing as many mods as possible at it.
One instance is chopping,if you're gonna chop something then you gotta lower it.Filling the roof on a streetrod is a good mod but recovering it with a well done insert looks good too.Just don't build a slick smoothie rod then fill the roof insert with leather. Orphan motors give me wood.I like Smallblock chevy's because they are cheap and fit anywhere but it takes perserverance to find speedparts for a Nailhead Buick,Navarro heads for a Flatty or a Caddy air cleaner.
