    Well, Hatch and I started it. Today FAB32 stopped by and gave me some pointers so I got out the tape and Sawzall and this is what I came up with. It's my first attempt so don't laugh too hard. It's just tacked at the B-pillars and separate from the cowl right now. I have a lot of relieving to do in the back, it's chopped 6". Luckily my girlfriend's dad has chopped a 29 Tudor, a 32 3 window and a 33 sedan. So I think he'll be able to show me how to get this looking decent. If not, I'll be on here asking for help. Here's some pics.

    Thanks guys. Yeah, girlfriend+spraypaint=hippie flames. I think I'm going to do the car in bare metal anyways. I just chopped straight across the back window, so it's pretty short. I'll post some more pics when we get it all tacked together. Right now the back is just flopping around.
