hmm that's LEVEL with the roofline... I suppose that's acceptable :icon16:

You could also go with big tall stacks on the carbs...

ok, i changed my mind the only reason i went with the blower is becouse of how incredibly insane it looks, i was ganna go with the small block but i opted for the BIG BLOCK, whatcha think

a-HAH! That's what I was talkin' about. SERIOUS rat rod.

Just a suggestion, but I think it'd look awesome now if you gave it some rust and patina, flat black or flat gray, or bare steel, total rat rod, just a complete "turd" with a huge motor. I love it.

What kit is that? I love it. Also White walls. I have tried using acrylic paint with no avail. It just comes out crappy. Did you buy these ones?

Cool!
Maybe the door could be a bit longer, and the "C" pillar a littlebit thinner. But who knows...

Please share. I've been wanting to do a chop top but couldn't work out the window situation. :frown:

I think that kit had the acetate in it already for the rear windows. Acetate is just clear plastic sheet. If you don't have any, you can probably find some clear sheet plastic on like..any product box with the clear window in it.

What he said. Evergreen also makes it along with all their styrene, so your LHS will likely carry it.

I just bought this kit and am wondering how you channelled the body. It looks really really good.

Very nice car, but it would have been more a rat with a flathead.
