  1. I love the miss-matched wheels, especially the as-cast 5-spoke rears with machined lips. :cool:

    Long time no posting, so here is an update

    Topchop and body work coming along pretty good, playing with 32 sedan and coupe parts, not easy but feasible I think.

    What do you guys think ?
    How it was...

    after hours of cutting parts and sheet metals...

    Still have a hell of job to do...

    I like the chop, is the front of the door chopped a bit more than the back? Bob
