    I can't believe it! I made the decision to sell my Buick and build a model a. ( see "I need some life advise" thread here on the hamb). I plan on taking it to your shop first thing... I'm a little hurt that I won't be your first one... Great build. Thanks for posting it.

    The frame is at stock 32 specks. Cut out parts of the floor to make it all fit.

    I am still welding it all up. I will post some progress photos soon.

    The vertical (stagger) cut is the actual relief;) Had he gone straight across, there would have been the need for a relief cut....OR a lot of metal finessing.

    Excellent work and great platform to work from!

    beauty chop!
    like the staggered idea. looks like thats what I'm going to do on mine.
    did the A pillars line up fine? Did you have to do any pie cuts up there?
    Would love to see some more pics!

    That is coming along great. A true study in how to build something that is simple and clean while putting those signature touches on it.

    Here are a few more shots. I sent the body off to get sand blasted. Then it was put into a epoxy sealer.
