I was thinking more along the lines of reducing the amount of trim and simplifying the rest, making it more like the 63 Classic. There is no trim on the A pillars beside the windshield on the Classic, for example. I think there is on the Hornet. How would it look if that piece wasn't there? Like the Classic? Or does it do more than just trim it up a bit more? Just cover the things that really need it or where the piece holds someting else in place -- again, like the early 60s cars. Would probably make it look "plainer" and "cheaper" though.
