    I managed to stitch in some of the pieces that the guy who did the chop took out so that I could work on the b-pillar. I really wish I had more of a clue, but threads like Ian's are helping me a lot. Hope to get these done by the end of the weekend

    Came in at 0-Dark-Thirty this morning and decided that the b-pillar was wrong. Started over with the door pillar and worked backwards. Pics to follow

    Well, the car is at the shop, so I just have to walk back there. The problem is that its like a magnet and I can't get away, so I have to be careful about even opening the door...

    ERIK,

    You should not have painted those wheels. It made you go crazy and chop your car up! Glad to catch up on your build. Man it really looks nice. Need to chop mine now!

    Hell, Chops are cheap when you do it yourself. Just tons of time, some welding wire and some sheetmetal. Piece of cake! Anybody can do it!

    Took me all day, but I finally got the passenger side pretty much dialed in. Still need to do the curve at the back of the quarter window and fill in all the stuff on the inside, but the worst is over. I learned a ton, so hopefully the drivers side goes faster:)

    One side down! Still gotta do the interior bits and structural reinforcement, but the exterior looks pretty good to me. I did the driver's side rear quarter curve this morning...took like 30 mins start to finish..not the 2 hours the other side took.. Hope this is how the rest goes too.

    That is an absolutely beautiful profile!

    My preference is for extended, lipped skirts. (But then again, I like full wheel covers. :cool:) Which ever way you go, it's bound to be a winner!!!
