    This build is the absolute 'tits'. If KIRK!'s Ford was Watson influenced, I can't begin to imagine how goddamned awesome the Watson Tribute car will be.

    Alex, is there a dumpster, or storage at your shop I could sleep under/behind and work to pay the rent for said -living- space?

    Will weld and sand for food...

    ok back to the door conversion we had to use the 4 door ebd so the stricker would match the 4 door b piller it would have been easyer to use the 2 door quarter but we didnt want to ruin the 2 door

    [​IMG]
    dave hitch made one hell of a mess but he kicked fucking ass
    [​IMG]
    heres the door edge trimed to match the b piller

    here we painted the inside of the rockers so they wont rust

    Allrite James you called it on the bumper! The stock one sucked and your photo shopped one is an improvement but.... The turn lights and bullets look like ass still so the Chrysler one fits really well and it's smooth no bolts nothin. I'm thinkin scoops at the top of the bumper with antenas pokin out and a tube grill outa solve the ugly !!!
