    I do not have definite plans at this time.I do have a Chrysler Hemi and a 9" in the shop that I would like to use. Right now I am just enjoying working on the body.
    and yes..it may be yard art to some others but I am happy with it.
    thanks

    "When life hands you lemons...............make lemonade". Excellent start on a very challenging project. Keep us posted on the progress. I would love to be there if you ever take the finished project back to let the old owner see it.

    Here's an update on my 4" chop. Still a lot of welding and grinding but I am pleased with the new profile.

    I wouldnt guess you were a novice. Solid effort there...it looks great.

    And if it turns out half as bad *** as that maroon one you will be doing fine.
