...trying again...

looks like it worked now...I was apprehensive because of how it COULD look but am very happy now. Part of what makes it work on my car in my opinion is I've made all the windows fit as 'flush' as possible.

She's beautiful !

From my perspective- it did not hurt body lines at but rather made them more readily apparent by reducing clutter.
On these cars, drip rails often seem "busy" to me.
Not on every car, just some.

Any chance you could share more pictures and some info on flushing out the windows- i agree that makes a big difference.

Just a beautiful car man.
Would love to know who did the work.

Thanks man- really.

All your body lines are really nice and crisp, love the shaved deck lid as well.
Its a really, really, really nice build man.

While I like to stay with the OE look as much as possible, I do like that nice, clean appearance. Never fly with a Stock or Super Stocker though. At least not if they're paying attention.

I and friends did most of the work...I have had stuff done but have redone ALLOT of that...so if anything I worked with their ideas and execution. Jerry Tormala (Gdemon) did the paint/body but again he allowed me to help him so the fit and finish was 'expensive' from a time perspective...I am really happy with what Jerry has done he has been a great help. I only said to him..."I wonder if it would look good without drip rails... about 2 hours later one side was all but finished with putty...but really it is a matter of taste...Jim Sciortino on here has/had? a black 1972ish Dart swinger and his shaved rails inspired me to do the same.

While I sincerely appreciate your compliments it is no miracle in any way...anyone really could do the same really in about half the time or LESS...it's just a function of time. I enjoy and have helped as much on friends cars and they have been reciprocated in their help for sure. But at this point it is just a long-term art project.

its nice work, it really is.
