    yeah, man.. you look like you have a pretty nice neighborhood. Neighbors dont say anything?? looks like a neighborhood that would have a "homeowners association'

    And how did you get your car to be on its side?? I dont see a rotiserie!!

    Well, at least the cars take their minds off the fact that you still haven't taken down the Christmas lights.:)

    Chop looks good, but is the body just resting on the sheetmetal on its side?

    loooks good so far. just dont use the factory rear glass and just tilt it though. it ends up looking funny. the one corner of window ends up below the beltline. u get a big hump on the catwalk. use plexi if u want to wrap it around

    How much of a chop is that? Do you know where to buy a windshield and back glass? I'm about to chop a '54.

    That looks great so far! Something special about a guy that takes the time to do the underside as nice as that. We'll expect the top side to be really something now. Keep posting photos of the progress.
