I like the gas door, are you still using the factory tank in the original location? How about a picture of the fill tube area in the trunk? I'm going to be doing something like this with my 48 Plymouth. It will be on a Dakota frame and the Dakota tank is in front of the axle. Trying to get an idea what its going to look like. Gene

Not much into chopping car myself, but we will be here to give you moral support. I'm sure there are some on here that will be able to offer words of wisdom, should you need it. Gene

Hey, I'm not a roadster guy either. Don't worry, we have faith.
I can't chop my 48 (not that I would), the roof is about the only thing sort of solid, but someday it will be a car again. Its that faith thing. Gene
