    Thanks,
    Thats exactly what I was trying to accomplish, to fix the proportion problem that bugged me and maintain the integrity of the stock height.........Littleman

    keep kuttin' in my opinion.
     
  17. Perfect..... I love it when something is done and looks really cool, but people arent sure why it looks so good or what you have done.


    Great job,

  18. I like it. I studied the before pics, and thought the car was pretty bitchin'. I thought to myself "I hope he doesn't whack the hell out of it, that'll ruin the car."

    Then I looked at your latest pics with the top back on. I love that a wild-ass car like that has such a subtle chop. I don't think that car could get any better. Well, maybe with paint.

    Great chop.
     
  19. I like your thinking, please wait till the engine is sitting back in the hole before any more trimming, as "it's a package deal", a 'balance' kinda thing.

    Cheers,

    Drewfus:)

    I think it will be great, if you can still see the tops of the carbs when sitting in the seat it might be a tad too high, but you gotta drive it, extreamly fast I hope!!! You are definitly insane, extreamly talented, but insane... none the less Great job Dennis UPS
     
  21. i second that but hey it's your ride.. looks good, very clean.

    You guys just have to let a guy build his vision. (especially with the fantastic start on this car) Did you really think he would screw it up???...C'mon....have some faith.

    In the world of auto design, the "2/3 body, 1/3 greenhouse" works every time. I took the liberty of a quick image to show how this works.....He nailed it....perfect!!!!

  24. Perfect! I know whatever you do with it it will be good, you've got vision most people can't begin to grasp.
     
  25. You NAILED IT! Keep moving in YOUR direction.

    Looks phenomenal, Littleman. I'm glad you went with a very subtle chop. I'm not sure which angles you didn't like before. But I gotta agree, I think it looks even better now.



    For some reason, when I saw this picture, I thought about Henry Ford seeing this car, and I bet he would fucking HATE it. :D Good show ol boy...
