Didnt see that coming

Cool, lets see how this comes out.

I am assuming a chop top (roof lowering) or is it going to be a parade car?

I am interested to see the steps in getting the roof and glass to fit.

oops last 2 pics hadnt shown up before I was typing

Awesome, but please show more pics if you can

Sometimes custom/chopped FL's look good, most of the time they are tacky....

Yours is neither - yours is approaching AWESOME.

Lost my brakes on the way home from Billet Proof a couple years ago. Not fun. Took me this long to save up for a brake up grade. At this rate I will be in my 90's before I get around to chopping it. Good luck with your ride. Think Im not the only one excited to see it done.
