Mass. econofreak/pinstriper

Hello, out there.
I'm John"ZEKE" O'Connell aka Johhny O'Connelline. My primary affection is for early Ford Econolines and Dodge A-100's. I have two projects that have been dead in the water for way too long. I'm hoping to get "fueled up" to get going again. I also love hotrods, anything old and unique. My first project is a 1963 econoline pickup, with a 302 HO. I chopped the roof 4.5 inches a long time ago. I hate the way it looks now. Vandals smashed in the dash, now there is no way to get a windshield in without cracking it. I'm leaning towards whacking the top off all together. A roadster econoline pickup sounds pretty cool huh? Need advice for a windscreen. I'd like it to be real hot rod looking, like a deuce roadster. Thanks.

 

That sucks about the Vandals. But I would love to see photos of the truck at the curent stage.
