    Chris,

    Looks really good. Can you post up a straight side shot so we can see the roof profile? It looks like it blends to the rear deck area really nicely.

    Good one!

  16. AMAZING what a little haircut will do for a shoebox!!!!! subscribed!!!! keep us posted!
     
  17. Thanks, I'm glad you are diggin' it so far.
    Yeah, I gotta take some good profile pictures, but my shop is so small, I can't step back far enough to do so.
     
  18. Nothing like having a superb Hot Rod and a superb Custom. We all know how this one is going to turn out.

    So far, I'm more than impressed and stoked to see this one come about.


    Keep it rolling mang!!

    Nice work !!! Thanks for posting pics - Im subscribed !
     
  22. The tape, is just there to kind of visualize on what its gonna look like, I took the tape off and used some heavy paper, taped it on the car and took a "rubbing" with the side of one of those construction grease pencils, cut it out with scissors, transferred it to 18 gauge sheetmetal, cut "it" out, little oversized, put it into the English wheel, rolled it around a bit and put it on the car to fit the piece.
    Fitting the piece takes the longest.

    Ahhh, it's complicated, I got a ramp to get out of my shop, and I just lowered the car, so there is no way it's seeing daylight until it's running again.
