    Hey,it only has three windows right?
    I think this is the ride height I'm going for,maybe a little lower?
    Keep your eyes peeled for the "chop it" pictures from this weekend!

    Vap,

    I'm just curious, how much did it cost to have your cab, doors, and dash blasted?:confused: I've got to have that done to my Coupe Express, and I'm wondering what a ballpark price would be to have this done.

    Thanks,

    Thor

    Looks like some good "tin" to start with. Did you have it media blasted or sandblasted? Crossing my fingers on media....otherwise you'll have some warped panels (unless the blaster knew what he was doing) Good luck on the project

    Hillybilly three window.Hmmm I like that.
    The cab has been a big brown square all the years I have owned it.
    (traded a intake manifold for it)
    It was sun baked,no paint and pure brown surface rust.
    I had the cab,doors,dash,and windshield frame parts sand blasted.
    A local place did it.12 minutes away from home.
    Total cost;$250.oo
    That was a good deal in my book.
    Working on floors now,then bracing,pictures to follow..tonight?
    Chopping 4 inches Sat.night.Y'all welcome to stop by and have a beer!

    Both of my PU"s are chopped 4 inches and just right. No problem for me, the little lady says I have the perfect Hot Rod shape short and thick. LOL
