    Some how it just doesn't seem right. God I'll be glad when this "rat" craze is over.

    I like it and good for you to throw caution to the wind and just do it. This hobby is about different tastes in different cars, but you know you're going to have to run skirts.....lol

    Yeah no lie there! Got some gl*** 51 Merc skirts I think Ill use. This car was mullet-ified when I got it, 9" way too wide, deep dish rims, jacked up stance etc....so in the process they hillbilly-radiused the wheelwells, Im thinking since I have to remake them anyway, if I dont use the Merc skirts I will just make the factory opening an inch or so lower. We'll see.

    Let's see, Ford, tape, sawzall, welder, ipod, balls. Oops, forgot one thing: RESTRAINT.

    Way too much in my opinion, makes it look smooshed. But congrats on doing it yourself, looks like your fab skills are there! And I do like the leaned post.

    I like it. Not very graceful in a stylistic point, but it makes up for it with sheer at***ude. I agree with the other comments about the rear window... move it forward maybe 3" or so, it would look right on the money. Gonna be a tough looking car

    Hope you remembered the first rule of top chopping, cut the iron to fit the gl*** 'cause you can't bend gl*** to fit iron.
    A little wild for my taste, but looks like a good job. By the way, radiused wheel wells aren't that bad if the car sits right. I guess by hillbilly radius you meant done with a torch rather than a saw!!

    where are you making your "rat" judgement from?? the fact that it doesnt have paint on it...he's still building it! what cars have you built that were so much better?
