I couldn't agree more Mike. It's just frustrating when you have ideas all worked out in your head and the materials sitting in your garage but can't find the free time to get the work done. Ugh....lol

Well I have a solid start on the side roof caps. They help the visor and rear spoiler flow into the sides of the car rather than dead ending. Dropping the bottom of them lower than the top of the window trim freed me up to create a new window to roof cut line which makes the window to body ratio look more old school. As an added bonus, I now have built in vent visors.

Now if we could get rid of the headlight set up and put in 1950s round lights.

Personally I hate the headlights and wish someone would come up with an old timey conversion.
