    That flows nicely and isn't as my buddy is apt to say, "radical". Keep those cards and letters coming to show us the finished product.

    Ha ha....Yeah, ruined a perfectly good car...I know. Actually bought the car with the full intention of chopping it..just now got around to it. If I had 5 bucks for everyone who said I'd be crazy to chop it, well...

    Love that you extended the rear quarter window. Lots of them look squished when chopped. Yours looks great.
