This is what I have been doing last couple of weeks.3" up front and about 4,5" out back.It's gonna be 2 door hardtop too.More pictures http://photobucket.com/albums/v295/Kartsa/Lincoln/

 

No WAY!! That looks great .i always wondered what one of those would look like if someone did that.nice job .thanx alot for the pics.

 

What can one say?
That is a work of art.

Wow! That is a rather ambitious project. Looks great!

 

Looks like really nice work. Keep it up, I for one want to see updates as you go.....

 

And now you did it!! To be honest, Kartsa ROCKS.

 

Impressive work !! Can`t wait to see that chop finished ..

 

Kartsa...didn't you do the Buick fastback? If so, then this is going to be an awesome auto when you are done with it...

And if you didn't, it looks like you've got a great start on an awesome project...

Wish my metal fabbing skills were as good!

Kartsa rules. How long did all of that take, so far? I really like the rear window looks!

 

VERY NICE!

FONZI

 

That looks great!

What do you have planned for the front end? The Cosmo headlights are a bit awkward, but if I was restyling one, I wouldn't want to lose the uniqueness, so how do you plan to tackle the front?

 

King Kartsa........... Ruler!!

I'm not the owner of the car.I'm just doing the chop and convert it to two door.I think the headlights wil stay.

 

Hats of for Kartsa. Very nice lines and perfect workmanship, the essence of good custom building!

 

damn! thanks for this post

 

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE...wanna come over and chop my car? i'd have taken some more outta the top,but like you said,it's not your car....not mine either!
creepy

 

very impressive work, you sure have my sincere respect

 

Kart-

Looks good already!!!
We did the same thing with my Cosmo coupe about 4 years ago.
Took 4 inches from the posts, laid the back window down, and ditched the B pillar. Gives it a nice, mean look.

 

Just a question. The transitions panels that were new metal around the back window, did you make those out of flat stock without shaping them or did you use and english wheel (or other method) to shape them before weding them in?

the stuff that folks like you and Choprods do makes me feel somewhat insignificant.
