    :cool:Well made some progress on the chevy. Sometimes I wonder if I in over my head. Some of the posts on here make chopping a top seem like its not that big of a deal.

    Great work! I have a '50 as well. Where did you get the replacement sheet metal. My car is roached out in all the same locations. To replace the rear pan is super expensive at the site I looked at. About $375.00. What about yours? Keep us posted.
     
  21. Real nice!!! Keep the updates coming. Todd
