    I read an article once that said the roof height should be 1/3 the height of the car. He nailed it there. Also, he showed that the height of the tailfins should be at least half the height of the car!

    Looks great. Not as good as the Most Awesome and Deadly Car Ever to Roll the Earth* but really nice.

    *The Inman 57 Chrysler, of course.
