    I dunno, I think it looks pretty spot on. Mine always gravitate towards the altered look. No matter how hard I try, they all end up there.

    Do you have any pics of your frame Cory?

    Here's a few photos of my frame. 2 x 3, 3/16 wall, rectangular tubing. It's a pretty stout frame

    Nice. Keep any dimensions? What body did you end up with?

    I know it's 26.5" wide in the front and 31" wide in the rear. I can't remember the length off the top of my head. I'll measure it though.

    It's a Spirit Industries gl*** body. I got it as high school graduation gift from my parents.

    I was just wondering about how far back on the frame the kickup started?

    I like the Deuce rails, but the transition from the rear tire always bothers me.

    I know you've seen this one Root, more of a roadster and a half.

    I've got my kickup 100 1/2" from the front crossmember when measured on the top of the frame rail.
