    Hi

    Some progress on my chevy project.
    Jus got it back from the sandblasting shop nearby.
    Converted from 4d to 2 door, floor lifted 3 inches, all the handels and
    stuff shaved.:D

    Next i need to make inner fenders for the rear wheels.
    Then its time to chop the roof.

    should have thought a bit about the rear window before you started cutting

    Thanks!

    I legthen the front doors about 8 inches.
    It's still easy to make the rear window bigger, but i think the roof line is good now.

  17. Wow good work! I like that rear window and usually I dont like that shape and the proximity to the molding, something about it though is cool. Thumbs up.

    Awesome car has come a long way not trying to bust your balls but that rear window just doesnt fit with the rest of your car maybe your vision of over all is diferent than mine. Needs to be bigger to flow with the lines just my 2 cents
