    Thought I would share in my excitement, my Chevy is on the road! She is rough around the edges still but it will continue to progress.

    Thanks, Its amazing what this lighting is hiding. Its bare with epoxy primer, the only fill is around the headlights, side window openings and a quick rough in on the rear fender extensions.

    That's a very nice chop, the window surround trim is very well done, that's a tough piece to get right.

    Can I assume future plans call for a chrome front bumper?

    Looks real nice!!
    If it's still rough around the edges...then it's going to be awesome when you make some more progress. Keep the updates coming.:cool:

    Man, thanks alot everyone. The picture in my head goes like this- heavy rear fender mods including a reshaped forward portion and custom flushed and flared skirts. Filled drip rails,( not shaved) Grill ,bumper and pan will be replaced by something else. Hope to continue on with it in the spring. Gotta chop the vent windows and get some glass in the doors before it gets cold. I have to take a break from this project to work on my house over the winter.
