well after finishing the chop at midnight the night before loading it up and haulin it off to Levis Classic's hot rod parts haven, i never got a chance to step back and take a good look till we got it to his place and unloaded it. just thought i'd share it with you. notice the rear window was chopped one inch LESS than the rest of the windows to keep proportions better and keep a decent sized back window. thats 3 1/2" chop with 2 1/2" out of the back window. anyhow. stand back and take a look...

flush fit is alot of work and gives you almost an inch more of room. i have a 12" section of door body line for a 30-31 left over from my strech i put in my cab if you need it.

That is nice work. I like how you did the windows, keeping it that way looks like it's stock. You would have to set a original body next to it to tell the difference.
Kustombuilder, you got any pics on how the F-n-A is coming along? later plmczy

Rocky -
It will be running a 1968 302 with 351 ported heads and a pair of 94's. Althought I am concerned if the pair of 94's will have enough CFM's. Imagine that a Ford in a Ford!
