  5. LIKE! :D
    I wonder... will you add a small flair to the front wheel well to match the skirts? ..orrrr, perhaps eliminate the flair from the skirt? So, so, smooth!

    You Sir are a craftsman, I like your Metal work it is so rare to see real metal working. I have been in love with customs since my father took me in 1963 to visit the Alexander Brothers in Detroit. It was a real experience for a grade school kid! Good Job Sir. Don In N.W. Indiana

    Mild chops seem to be hot right now, but on the street, someone has to be evil. All the girls like the bad boy.

    Are you going to have some aerials sticking out of that rear fender scoop?

    no aerials in the scoops. I'm thinking I'm just going to keep it simple and leave it the way it is now with nothing in the scoops.

    Not sure I'm going to like it, but I give you credit for doing it. It's definitely not ugly, like some others, and you've got mad skills.

    Stunningly clean lines and vision here! Those scooped quarters are screaming for some type of teeth in them, like off a 54' Merc or from a Vette. Just thinking....

    Dude! My buddy and I were literally just talking about this car/you today! You helped them do the chop on our buddy Dennis' Merc along with Gene and Voodoo Larry! I'm stoked to see some updates on this thing!
