Dave took a lot of heat for the roofline. In multiple instances, he defended his decision based on the belief that rear seat passengers shouldn't have to stoop down to safely get into the back seat.
In his defense, most classic cars that had a 2 door and 4 door model DID use a taller roof or at least utilized the common post sedan roofline which was taller than the 2 door coupe models.
Still, he did take it too far. The roofline on the car does remind me of a hearse. I'm sure he had some occasional thoughts about which way he should have gone.

I think that even if he did come around and agree that the roof looked odd, he wouldn't have been able to admit that it was a design flaw. He was in too deep and his pride was in the way.
I PM'd the guy a few times and did appreciate the skills he had. Guys like him do push the limits in many ways. People like that will inspire some and annoy others. The world was a better place with him around though.
