    Tried to save the corner but had to replace after all from a poor previous attempt at replacing
    Also had to replace the lower section of the trunk area bead that had a few dents that I couldn't get out image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Had to make the drivers side look good too, had few pinholes so it had to come out as well image.jpg

    image.jpg Got most of the lower sheetmetal In so it was time to keep the ball rolling with a agreed upon Chop, we decided on a mild 2.5 inch chop. Didn't know if I was gonna like the mild chop but it has grown on me and looks proper

    Finished up the shifter cover and made it removable to get to the shifter since it is so tight with the 40

    Floor alone is a work of art, thanks for sharing, pics & tips will help many.
    I think it will be difficult to ever hide those floors with carpet.

    Nothing like little A to get you going. Looks great Rusty .I wish my 32 was only chopped 2.5 every time I hit a bump !

  23. Rusty, being short sometimes has it's advantages and one of 'em is to be able to chop your top drastically. I know how tall you are and I'm very surprised you didn't go with a 5-6 inch chop! But it does look good with the "short chop"....
    Nice.....gonana run a 389 again?
