    Nice, it would be easier to see in a larger picture.
     
  4. Looks like they sunk the roof. That's how they did a lot of chops back then, even the Merc in American Graffitti was done that way. Some didn't even cut the gl***, but created a channel for it to slide down in.
     
  5. more pics , looks like a buick? i could be wrong

    It looks well made, but I don't like the drastic chop, bring it up a few inches and that car would RULE!!

    Glad to hear your going at her!

    I knew it would come one day.. the day I could not remember ALL the photos I have on my site.. (only about 40.000) I only wish it was not for another 10-20 years :)

    Anyway... LOST ANGEL has put them up already.

    Will be a great car to see back on the road.

    Hey Rik, I knew you had to have something in your collection. For some reason that front end was real familiar. Hope it can be saved.-MIKE:D :cool:
     
  26. WOW! nice find. What are your plans?
    It would be nice to see you keep in touch with the original concept.
    Even though it may have been built in the 80's, it's still part of our custom history.
    Good Luck with it.
