    I am not a big fan of sectioned shoeboxes,but that 2" section doesnt look bad at all.
    Keep up the good work!

    What he said! Man 2 inches out really looks good, once its chopped the proportions are going to be soooo nice.

    I think with the 2 inch section the top could use just a little bit more chop. Maybe an inch more front to back. I know it's considered voodoo to chop coupes more than 3 and 4 but with that section a 4 and 5 would be spot on. Just my opinion.
     
  14. About got the frame done, mustang gas tank...

  19. 3 is the max for me, the more you take out of the roof the more is takin out out of the quarter windows ..IMO I wish I had the balls to hard top it.
