  4. Funny how we people are...I really like what is going on at the back end. I`m sure there will be more changes before you are done ! Keep it up !

    welded one of the fins solid.....since i don't have an english wheel, i began creating one of the rear corners from compound curves i have cut from donor cars...it's always worked for me before,,,sort of like assembling a big jigsaw puzzle,,,,,it still needs a lot more work, but the basic shape is established....

    The back of the car is going to be just fine when you're done. I do like the bumperette/Pontiac valance, maybe a grille between the lites.

    I like the new fin length, but will you be able to open the doors? Will they get a door gap cut into them, or?
