That one looks very good too. Notice the hood ridge integrated into the cowl and the cowl smoothed into the windshield frame? And a flush mount windshield. Wow, alot of work went into that area alone.

Based on your fab skills I think you could pull something off like this...

Re: Roadster Project

Yeah, I think it's a bit too much. I do like the hood treatment though.

Under the hood...LOL, just kidding. I wasnt able to take them yet because my hoods being used as a work bench. Soon, I will have them
I will also have pics of the arm rests which are fabbed in from the back seat to the front doors. Should be super sweet. And the rear trunk lid and I want to do those head rests that look like tear drops in the rear trunk. Kinda follows the whole roadster theme...wadda ya think. ( kinda afraid to ask again)

Cheesy, nah I'm just kidding. It's your truck and your vision. Do what you want with it. You have the skills to change anything later if you decide you don't like it.

I always liked the mini roll bar thing behind the driver like the cobras had. But they don't have a back seat. Hey wait, wonder what a blazer would look like shortened some more and losing the back seat?

Re: Roadster Project

I need some front seats to make the molded-in arm rests, but want to get them "frame only". Anyone know where one might find a decent selection?
