mean car man love it. dude I am with you on the driving your car thing to many trailer queens in the world. You are a good fabricator, like the front spoiler.

You know what I like the most about this build? Your doing all the work yourself! That's awesome! Your car is a big inspiration to me. I got a 69 I started working on awhile back. I'm doing all the work myself. All sheetmetal work and all fabbing is done by me. Your build is sweet! Keep updating this! Have you posted on pro-touring.com forum?

Great job car looks sick ,the car is so low it makes the roof line look high I know your way beyond this point but did you ever consider chopping the roof down a couple of inches would add to the look. keep at it cant wait to see it done nice work.

I like the whole look and idea behind the car. I think your work looks good and like I said the overall idea is neat and should be very attention getting...
My only concern picture-wise is this one..
The car looks very crooked here...There is an obvious difference in the amount of space between the under window panel and the rear panel, looking like the left rear is sagging down. Was the car wrecked/ poorly repaired/?? or is this just the rear panel off that much after reinstalling it??
Criticism is meant to be constructive, and I will be the first to admit that I couldn't do 1/2 of what you have done there

you are completely right. the filler panel between the rear glass and trunk were welded in wrong and warped. it has since been fixed that picture was from atleast 4 months ago. and yes a more in detail build is goin on, on pro-touring.com. and yea doin all the work myself except for the motor build and sticking the interior. pro's of haveing your own shop is you have control of everything. the lower links are 1/4 in dom with 5/8 heims. there is no chance of them braking or bending, that is a satchell link design used by several road race cars.
