    Sits nice and lookin smooth. I'm not a fan of the straight B pillars but who the hell am I. Your front bumper looks like mine, bent in the same spot and everything.

    looks good, im a slanted pillar guy too, but with the mild chop and the straight "b" pillar it looks just right. nice project..

    it will be black some day... my dad had one when he was dating my mom, back in the day, he said it had 20 coats of black lacquer, on the outside, and under the hood looked just as good, it was lowered in the back as well, dad and mom called it black annie.

    Just an old Merc, oh yea,very nice just the way it is. The next time some one says that to you ask them what they are driving. I bet it is one of those new belly button shit boxes . Yours is way cooler than what they drive!
     
  15. Very nice, how much is it chopped?

    I like it, Hard to make a straight post chop look good. Drip rail line looks like it should. your well on your way to one sweet rig!

    Very, very nice. If you decide to round the front lower hood corners you will be amazed on how much better it will look. Tape them off first.
