    So this is my 5th shoebox and I've gone backwards from really nice to worse! Always have had to sell them and never have been able to complete them. I picked this one up awhile ago and because of life I've never really had time to do anything but here we! Thanks to a homie we call the "mexican" and some liquid courage (tequila) we got a sawsall and took 5 inches off. Ive worked ... better said helped and watch on 7 chops but never really have had the courage to do it on my own.... dont want a carson top! so here are some pics and i know some will hate others will like and some will be confused but you know ... its getting done at home in a garage with homedepot blades and tools 2 hours at a time ... enjoy!

    Beautiful progress on the chop.

    What are your plans for the rear glass and deck?
