    well, weve been askin that question ourselves too, but i guess he kinda fell in love haha
    he already did tons of work on it, like getting it through ***le inspection and stuff
    needed alot of technical work redonetoo, alot of floorpanels rewelded etc
    so yeah you could say he was better off finding a more solid and original car (i would too) but seeing the amount of p***ion and work he already has putten in it, i concider it more to be a ****py kustom being saved and redone the right way

    Well, interior and gl*** is out, top is bare metal now.
    Only some bracing and she's ready to get a top treatment..
    Did a lot of research in the past weeks about the amount of chop and the way the B-pillars should look like... Is think I will chop it 3½" in the front and "eye-ball" the rear till it flows with the rear fenders..
    B-pillars will get the Metranga merc style slant, like the Dale van Zant '49..I just love that.!!

    Holiday well spent..!
    I went for a 3" vertical drop in the front and ended up removing 4½" in the back.
