It was nice before and I have a throphy from the only show it was ever in but I wasn't "custom". Hell anyone could have pulled up in one just like it so that is why it is in its current state. Thankx and I think it is going to turn out good but it will be another year or two until we find out. There is a crap load of money to be spent!!!

To be honest I cannot belive someone has not said something about the fact that this was a factory 2wd and I have molested it. That is what I was expecting but I appreciate all the good things ya'll have had to say. Usually the purist throw in there 2cents.

I'm really liking the white top. What do you plan on doing with the paint color? I think it would look COOL red with a white top and stock 68 side moldings. It would make everyone look twice. Keep up the good work!

Ain't diggin that deep???

That roof was way more work than a simple section

I hear ya though. Maybe I need some lessons on how to draw the line myself...

...and it's not about being shorter, it's about the right aesthetic proportions (insert Freudian pun here). But, it looks sick as is too!

I ain't sure on color yet, I kinda wanna go with something differnet. I had thought about the atomic orange on the c6 vette but I am up in the air right now. I have planned on running the 67-68 trim but I kinda wanted to run some pans and maybe build some bumpers like on the old vette's and have them chromed but the trim wouldn't look right without the factory bumpers. I have a lot to figure out as far as finishing it. Heck I already have a free bumper that LMC sent me for the front that has never even been opened.
Thanks

Come one I haven't finished the roof yet

I know what you mean about the porportions, the top looked like crap stock but now it is right on the money. For some reason it looks a heck of a lot better in person than in these pics as far as the porportions go.

You would think that someone with the skills to pull off the chop with such precision would realize that his wheels were on backwards
