  1. That frame profile is going to be really nice looking.

    For sure. there was no way I was just going make it look like I built this when I was 15 :D
    Now not sure how to pull this off but have been thinking of options.

    Working on a template for the profile of the frame rails. Think I'm getting close.

    Thinned down the top a little more and starting to get happy with it.

    Love the updates. This is one of my favorite build threads, right up there with Chucky’s Stude sedan. I like the profiling of the frame rails, ads a lot of class.

    I have the profile I think I can live with. Now I need to figure the cut line and decide if I should save the radius of the tubing to wrap around the new profile or just get some flat stock to wrap it with.

    I would save the radius of the tubing.

    This may be a stupid question, but isn't that more or less hidden once the fender is back on?
