    yeah.. we kicked around the idea.. but i think im going to leave it.. i dont want too many modifications.. i'm leaving alot of the original things untouched that most people do with a custom like this. such as one piece windshield, different back window, custom tail lights, frenched head lights, all the trim shaved, etc.. so im going for the "less is more" approach!

    thanks buddy.. I really like how everything is turning out :)

    theres a few places that sell replacement glass.. Bobs Glass.. The Car Shop in Orange Ca, i think Chevs of the 40's does too... they are laminated so maybe you could cut the glass to get it to work in yours...

    thanks guys.. im hoping to get the templates made for my glass next weekend.. the front windshield is just a quick plexi job so i can drive it.. im also relocating my rear license plate to the bumper and adding a license plate guard. I think by lowering my tail lights and license plate.. it will make the rear look a little bit lower. As soon as this rain passes.. back to work!
