    that looks great! I like the chop. its similiar on how i did mine how u moved the rear window forward and kept the line looking stock. if i did mine again i wouldve done less of a difference from front to back like u did. i did mine 3.5 and 5.5. good job!

    Hey looks nice- i really like that you tried to improve on the roofline, rather than just trying to make it looked "chopped". Since your putting it out there, I will throw in my 2 cents on grill choice- I agree that something stockish would look nice, or maybe even a canadian meteor grill. Nice car!

    How much was the chop? It flows really well, looks like it came factory.
     
  12. looks good, but there's something about those white walls that doesn't cut it right.

    Love the color and the chop. I've always thought most chopped shoeboxes are too agressive. I love the less is more aproach here. The lines look great and you've done a fantastic job. Would love to see more pics and maybe a full side profile.

    Such a beautiful chop. Can't wait to do mine. I'm close to the same color too.
