    I actually like it better unchopped. It looks like it came that way.

    That actually looks good, they grafted it on there with good flow, not choppy looking. I'll assume the Impala was a hard front-end wreck. When were the pics taken? Any pics of what the car looks like now?

    wow i like this alot, i do think if the car was hardtopped and a little less chopped in the front, this thing would look spectacular, maybe open up the front window just a bit. awesome pics and thanks for sharing!!!!
