    Billy Beaver, Devotion and I fixed his chop on shoe box.

    Some before pictures. That's Billy Beaver (Tyler) in the picture cutting out the window fill.

    Some progess pictures. We have the roof done but I do not have any of the latest pictures loaded up yet.

    We need some more before pictures! You guys have no idea how far this car has come! I've seen stuff on this car that blew my mind in the worst possible way. Some wacky wacky stuff. i still can't believe that these guys were able to get this car back to looking as a proper shoebox should.
     
  5. That looks nice! Sweeeeet

    Sorry if these pics make your eyes burn...this car was truly brought back from the dead! Thanks again Matt and Tyler...I had nothing to do with this save.

    Scary as heck "before" shots, great save though. I'm surprised it didn't have a moon roof in it.

    Looking good. I actually think the rear end treatment could be kind of cool with a little tweaking. Maybe pancake the hood with rounded corners, round the door corners, custom grill, and tailights and you would have a nice radical Kustom

    I gotta say though, this car does have some pretty rad 'graphics' on the fender and the door...

    I hate to bring up such and old thread, but there has been a bit of progress on the shoebox. Again, due to some great friends it has gotten this far... more to come.

    This is an excellent example of what dilligence, skill, & teamwork can do. You can not even tell it was ever a hack job...
