You can't go wrong with a Sidewinder ;)
Then you could fill the apron in and it would look very clean. Unless you are concerned about keeping the body original...

I think a Sidewinder with a filled in apron would be very nice. :thumbs:

i love the a-1 sidewinder..but i would not close the holes on the apron up either...i would leave them like they looked from the factory in case you every want to change it back to something else you at least have that option..

I'm planning on body working that panel Tuesday. So we are leaving the left cut out?

I'd shave it. The DC will never be a numbers matching car. With a big motor, slammed or lifted a smooth apron is the way to go...... :dance: I'd also get another sidewinder for the 55. Get rid of the hemorrhoid thats hanging out its ass currently.

I may be interested in the hemorrhoid if you ever do get a Sidewinder :thumbs: .
