I'm going for the old lead sled look with it so I want it to be for lack of a better word "slammed".

Re: help with custom frame
No, I did mine a bit different and actually took that roof from a 55 Chevy Pro Sportsman kit. It was already chopped so I just took the whole roof.
One suggestion is to use gap filling CA to glue it back together, its very strong and won't shrink or anything. Post pics of your progress
