Heh.. i doubt there'd be anyone here who hassn't taken their unregistered old car around the block for a lap at least once before.
Cmon Mez.. get that thing finished and get cruisin ! Looks so awesome.
Hey did you have any trouble gettin glass for it? Being that the front doors are longer, rears shorter and the front and rear glass will be at least cut down.. ?
Also was there anything that an engineer was concerned about regarding the longer / shorter doors and the chop?
DR,
Not necessarily.. would be fun to see who gets voted Best Kustom on the forum.. i've seen numerous other forums have similar polls on a annual basis for things like Best Post, Best Thread ect ect
Should have a Best Kustom, Best Stocker, Best Sedan / Wagon / Ute / Panel Van ect. Just for fun.

Looking Good Mez!
though not to sure about all that dash stripping, but each to there own! and who needs glass anyway just gets in the way when your trying to see
I'm up for annual polls, providing people dont take it in the wrong way if they loose!
Cheers

That is awesome. Besides the great 2-door conversion that is flawless with perfect proportions, I would have to say the interior is my favourite part. I have never seen anything like it. And i never knew that grill would look so good.
PS was the striping done by Scotty from Beatniks CC?

mould which we cut and fitted several hundred times till it fitted
perfect.here are some pics.many thanks to paul
once fitted correct the inside was braced and mould removed
then paul fibreglassed in all the timber supports,cleaned up the edges
and a few inperections .and fitted it one last time.then it was off to
the glass place to get the screen made.

the screen done in glass was $2400,i reckon its not too bad for a kustom one.my 55cadillac screen was 1800 cost price and thats a std usa screen.
i have the screen just needs some fine tuning
harko i hope it lasts longer then 6 mths
