Welcome aboard. Rogers is sure a busy place now days, seems like everyone commutes to the cities from there. The traffic on the interstate must bring you some good business especially when it is covered in ice. Do you have any pics of the projects?

Yeaaa.................. I like it.

Was there some advantage to flipping the back window, ( it fit better ) or just to change the look??

I just got done fabing a pair of skirts for a '48 olds convt, you have a pair for your car? With your chop, stance, and some skirts you will have one hell of a kustom!

hey thanks guys for all the complements            yea i spent hours trying to figure out what i was going to do i had about 10 pictures of this top done differant ways i took the things i liked out of the pictures and used them in my chop i hated the hump in the back it had to go.    one of the mags had one that was made into a hardtop i noticed they flipped the rear window.   when we got to that point on mine and we started fittin stuff theres alot better metal to play with on the window frame flipped over thats the only reason we did it.           the only thing i would of done differant is shortened the roof in the back and moved the package tray forward i might do this yet i will see i think it looks to long compared to the rear quarters.   or maybe i will stretch those out.
