I said it over on lat-g already, but this is a great build!

You have a very nice build going on! Here is a picture of the Chevy II Roy Pigford built a few years back with a 1" chop top. I'm on the fence with the mirrors but I still really like this car. You have to see it in person to appreciate all that's been done to it. Not only did he chop the top, he also moved the front and back wheel openings forward.

Since I have yet to do it, how do you gring down the welds on an inside corner... driver side console to dash corner? It's looking good so far. Hopefully you'll have a way to get at whatever is behind there for install, wiring, whatever.

For access there will be a cluster bezel and Glove box door {removeable]
