    nice work! to me its one thing to chop an already awesome car....but to chop and add some great new lines to a car, thats work well done!
     
  2. The profile is cool looks like it could be a removable hard top. It may just be the pictures but in some of the shots it looks like you have some pretty crazy dips in the metal where the new rear window meets up with the existing top. If it is not just the pics how are you going to deal with them?

    Jesus christ, it must be nice to strip a 60 year old car down that far and not find rust holes you could stick your foot through. Great foundation. Keep crankin!
