    Remember guys,I'm a novis at this.Here's a couple of pics of the car at this point.I'm not sure what backglass It'll have yet,might be a cut down windshield with the same contour.

    very nice, but why the later top on an earlier car? usually it's the other way due to the rear window.

    I like that. I like it a LOT! Just how close is a 53-54 roof when you line up the posts and contour of a 49-52?

    looks like it came out really good. the flow of the roof into the trunk is nice, and with the car being dumped...it all flows sooo soooo smoothly. good work.

    Lookin' good JT....you're crackin' me up with the "running in May" line, I told Mona that I'd take her on a date on Valentine's Day in the Merc. She's just now figured out that I didn't say WHAT year.
    Is this the Chevy that you did the nice floor work on? That car would look good at the El Cajon cruise night!

    Hey Dousche bag. your ears must have been burning when you did this post. I was talking with clark late Friday night in daytona and I asked how your ride was coming, he told me you sold the "dark side" roadster and were putting another roof on your car. It looks great. I told him the PA crew needs to do a weekend slam and make sure you have the car up and running for Larry's show next year. you must have a driver for it. (plus with Tony driving his down, that would be two cool customs in attendence.

    I like the look of the roof

    Nobody will...It will be roped off on a turntable with mirrors under it...HAHA

    Maybe we could get Spikes boss to 'POSE' on it??

    Then we could all line up and do the Captain Morgan salute...The calling of the dousche bags is now in order!
