heyhey my 31 looks like A car again(progress pics)

well here we go with some pics... been bustin my ass to try and get her on the road by summer time ... got most of the floor in ... welds need ground down . body mounts are in .... dash happened yesterday night .. when i was bored and had a perfectly good 59 ford dash that was just sitting there when i got in the mood for cutting and welding.. yah its a small block but it was free .. i made the firewall over a few days because of how far back the motor sits an original did not look good ...tail lights are out of a 61 vette and fit the curve on the back of the body perfectly ummmm other then that i cant think of anything else

tell me what ya guys think its my first hot rod build
flop

first pic is how the car started out
the following pics are what i did to it

 

It's looking really good.
Do you have any more pictures of it down on the rubber or progress pic's?
You're going to make summer no problem!

 

Looks good, i was wondering how much is it chopped? I love that chop!

 

That dash and the vette lights are awsome! NNNNNNN-NICE!

 

[heres a few more of the before hand shots and after well sorta after i was still piecing it together in the last pic

i chopped the car 6 inches... its channeled on a pitch goes from about 6 to 3 and a half inches makin the ass end stick up a lil more for that mean look

 

I love the chop and the dash looks wild!

 

More people should graft cool dash boards, it really makes the difference.

 

Lookng good. Dash and tail lights were a good touch.

 

Awesome! I like everything about it!

 

Tail lights are really nice. Great idea. I like the chop also.
Very good.
