    Looks good ... it's nice to have a friend, but for the love of Pete, please put the guard back on your grinder! My butthole is still puckered after seeing that first picture... haven't had one of those disintegrate on you lately, huh? At least wear a face shield. All right, Negative Nancy is stepping off her pansy soapbox now.
    Again, looks great so far.

    chop out the back window and let the excess metal slide down inside the rear quarter . that should eliminate the need to slice the rear radius to shrink it (I HOPE!!)
    looks like a close fit so far. its just another way of doing it
