    I wish Rocky had 1/15 of your talent and I had the other 15/16s. Love the creativity in the firewall, looking forward to this build.

    Amazing work and skills . Like the stance of the car . Getting it low and leaving the roof unchopped looks great.

    Man that firewall sure does draw attention to the motor, looks like it's begging to be filled with diamond pleats, chrome and other magical shiny things

    That is some NICE metal work! Scratch built quarters, wow.

    I always thought an unchopped Victoria roof on a Mercury would be a fun head scratcher.

    The only thing missing from this build is some good old fashioned lead work from Bill Hines

    Nice work, looking forward to seeing more progress. I think unchopped with the small channel and low ride height will work good.
