    What I did was extend the gutter to the bottom of the roof line and gave it a bit of a swoop towards the rear. Then terminate the stainless into the gutter. It looks pretty nice on mine.

    Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.

    You nailed the chop. Get some extended quarters on there with some packards and you'll be rolling HARD

    Looking very cool the chop is perfect and gives the car a nice lean look.. "54 Merc taillights without the backup lens might work for you. Keep the good work up.........................
