Pretty neat. If you want to go all the way with that idea then replace the painted rear views with some small stainless items, replace the seats with "bomber style" buckets. Make extensive use of rivets either real or just painted on. I have seen older thirties cars done this way before and they really looked cool. I saw a mini pick up at a car show about four years ago done that way and he went all out with that theme. He stripped the interior and replaced all the plastic/carpeted/upholstered surfaces with riveted sheet aluminum, he had the bomber seats, a small bomb in the bed for a fuel tank, etc. Pretty cool. That theme has not been overused so it is still effective for show cars in my opinion.
