    Here's my winter project. As a first time builder, this has spanned over several winters, but I'm finally getting to a point I should be able to drive it this winter.

    enjoy....:D

    Looking good!
    Gonna leave her that high or chop it a bit?
    Pop's Garage? Who is pop? You or yours?
    I'm waiting impatiently for decent weather to get back on my stuff.

    8" haircut, once the flooring and the trunk lid is finished.

    That's my pop...

    That is going to be a nice ride.

    What did you use to make the dash.

    This is looking great. I'd leave it unchopped. Will definitely be following this one.

    That's cool. My dad started showing me all about cars when I was 12.

    8"? I like em high or "reasonably" low. I'm only 5' 5" so low isn't a problem.
    Proportional is the big thing. Not too cartoonish and I like it.

    Keep us posted. :)

    Thanks fellas.... I hope to be able to drive it to the SK500. It wouldn't take much work to get it driveable, I'm just scared I'll get it driveable and not finish it!!!

    Thats pretty much what I did with my sedan,but it was kind-of a trial error thing.Found out it really rode like ****(after some 4-5 hour one way trips),so now I've got it blown completely apart for a redo,racing to get it done ontime:D

    Man, I love that body style - great work and stance - I would think twice about chopping it - I'll dig it either way though

    Chad, spend more time in the garage and less time on the computer :rolleyes:..........and get some beer for Larry :D
    It is really looking good. I do like the the way the floor came out.

    and I am jealous of your dash.........
