just thought i'd post a picture of my latest project , 32 3 window i'm just finishing up..all steel original body...started october 1st 2003 with a body and frame....it goes for uphostery next week..see what you can get done when you're not on the computer?
Lookin' good... but what's wrong with the roof? It looks um.... high. So how good was the body when you got it? That's some pretty rapid progress. Well done.

At 6 foot 2 inches and overweight........I cannot see out of the cut ones......plus I like the old original stuff....I want my 32 to look like a 32. Nice 3W..good job !
I prefer the 3w chopped slightly (less then 2") to get better proportions (IMO) but the 5w not, leave the roof stock, thou Poteet 5w has a nice chop
Nice looking 3 window for fenderless and no chop! Good chance I may be landing a stock top 3 window and its good to see yours looking so fine without the cut. I think the black paint helps a bunch for blending the proportions. I like black paint and I really like the way you have done yours. Thanks for posting the picture. Helps me feel better about not cutting a gennie. Steve

that is a nice looking car. Mine is chopped 4 inches and believe it or not, it still looks like a 32.... even more if you ask me!
Gorgeous! I dig the uncut top too - of course, I'm also 6'2" (and a bit overweight - LOL). Lets see some different views.
Brootal -- What Greg has there is one of a handful of very rare "Minnesota Special" '32 three-window bodies. They were built with extra roof height so they'd be able to find them in the snow. Mine is like that too. See? Chev made a few too . .. later, Steve.
