Good work, Boxrodz, as always. However this visor just don't seem right, how about something along what liljon285 has on his truck? This one:

Ivan -

Yeah, the shape and profile liljon285's visor would probably look better. But, the idea was to extend the profile of the roofline beyond the windshield to function as a visor as well as to give the impression of a chop top. Even though the top has been chopped 'bout 2". Then, extend and tie in the SS trim on the rain gutter around the edges of the visor.

A few other changes could be applied as well... smoothing (or modding) the side markers, modestly frenching in the front markers, and inserting some type of 50's bullet style grille in place of the chrome strip insert to match the caddy caps and the spot lights, ... just to name a few.

And, of course, add another disclaimer.
