    I for one like it just the way it is. I'm glad you didn't put a chop on it with peep hole windows too. Good for you.

    There's a few things i'd do to it if it were mine, but it's not mine so i'll keep it to myself. hahaha....

    I like it. Nice work. It looks a little spooky to me with those windows.

    i've been diggin the tall t's alot recently. looks like you have a nice driver now. i've seen some goofy ones that have really turned me off but yours is pretty cool.

    whats the thought behind the red windows? hows it drive on the road? what would you change if you built it again?

    Looks good to me but the grill shell should line up with the top of the cowl to keep the lines flowing.

    I think you did a damn fine job. I like the windows. Proportion-wise, you may want to consider the suggestion about the grille shell. Style-wise, the rims and tires don't do it for me. Maybe something more 60's to fit in with the look of the red windows. In any case, it's something you should really be proud of.

    The 30 grill shell is to big. try a 28-29. Just my 2 cents.

    Or even a "T" shell painted black same height as the cowl would give that cool ride a whole new attitude.

    A few folks seemed tough on the red windows. I say what the hell. It looks like the Devil may be driving it, and that works for me! Nice ride.

    I love the fact that its glossy and its not chopped!!! Put the T grille shell on it and it would be off the hook!

    I like the red windows and it does give it a cool spooky look.:D

    Thanks for the comments guys I really appreciate them. I still have alot to do like finish the top and a butch of odds and ends but its finally driveable and that makes all the difference. I agree with the comment about the grill shell so at some point in the future I will try different things to see what looks best. I seem to be getting mixed reactions to the windows it seems you either love them or you don't. How about the wheels one guy suggested changing them. Tell me what you think.
