    Scan0030.jpg Scan0048.jpg Scan0011.jpg Scan0045.jpg Just found some old pics of my Vicky that I built back in the mid 80's. This chop is done different than most Vick's that you see as I used the stock back window. I've got few pics I took during the build, but keeping a photo log of your projects wasn't a big thing back in the 80. LOL

    Love it, California style...Everything is SO right...Taillights are tasty, blend well with original lines. But noticeably 'custom'.
    Top and rear window: Perfection.

    Love the exhaust treatment, I hope Eric gets to see this as his build is very similar.

    Thanks much for the compliments guy's, glad you like it, a lot of people haven't seen it as no one had computers back in the 80s, LOL and Kustoms were just making a come back then.
    I still own it, but its been in storage for a while with the engine out, once I get my Roadster done ill get it back on the road again.
    I did take some pics during it's construction, but not like some of the projects pics of today, LOL. if I find them I will post them, the frame is stepped in the back and the front A frames have been modified and while I was at it I made and installed a full K member, its got a very detailed warmed over 302 ford with a C4 and 9" rear end.

    That is/was one nice Vicky. I really like that the original back window was used as that is a big part of that model of car from my viewpoint.

    I'm agreeing the design element is in the right spot, maybe pretty close to exact (ly perfect). I see no problem with those photo angles.
