Cool, lets see how this comes out.
I am assuming a chop top (roof lowering) or is it going to be a parade car?
I am interested to see the steps in getting the roof and glass to fit.
oops last 2 pics hadnt shown up before I was typing
Awesome, but please show more pics if you can

Location: Hollister Ca | Lost my brakes on the way home from Billet Proof a couple years ago. Not fun. Took me this long to save up for a brake up grade. At this rate I will be in my 90's before I get around to chopping it. Good luck with your ride. Think Im not the only one excited to see it done.

Location: Australia | I learned today this silver 60 Dodge was one I nearly purchased of a mate nifty Nev a few years ago but never had the money at the time boy has it travelled US to OZ and back again, It's a real credit to the owner as I believe it was a bit of a struggle getting it completed on time the car definitely finished up in the right hands, absolutely beautiful.
