    Somebody should stamp these, looks like the hardest piece to form.

    I actually started making them out of two pieces instead of hammer forming them. Much easier and faster in my opinion. Since every car I've done I do something a little different. Save me from having to do wood work. I'm no bob villa.

    Very nice work and great flow. I've done a bunch of chops and understand how much work goes into fitting and piecing together these parts.
    What I also found is, people don't want to pay for the extra effort that it takes but I do it anyway. My name is on the job.

    Very true. Most people have no idea. Anybody can chop a top but most lack the details that put them over the top. They have a mud it up attitude. The devil is definitely in the details. Plus. Good metal work saves time in the end if you ask me.

    That is sum fine slicing N fabrication... I think I'd paint her flat below the beltline and clearcoat the top! I've got a 52 year old receding hairline, wonder if a couple inches out of the forehead would make me look young N fast like dat!
