Welcome back Steve. So you've gone and done it, I know you were looking at a Led Sled project like that, that's certainly got the lines for it. A roof chop must be on the cards? I too love a Led Sled and that's gonna be a cracker.

Nice one Steve :thumbright: Andrew showed me those pics on Faceache a few days ago 8-)

I agree with you on the roof tho, it looks sleek enough as-is and would a massive job to modify it :help:



I'd like to see what Dunc's mates at Ass Monkey Garage could make of this if they got their hands on it 8-)

Cheers Guys
few more pictures....

Roof condition is a little upsetting as the seller never mentioned a thing about the myriad of dents from inside and out, even after I repeatedly ask about overall condition of the car ...Bananarama!
:evil:
Its 60+ years old,
still overall its pretty straight and solid 8
my car stock and with a Jeff Photo chop/ dumped

Ya know with the roof like that , you might have to skin the dam thing,but then you might as well chop it since you are in that far :scratch:

I'm with Drew. With the work involved in sorting the tin in the roof you may as well chop it.

Nope..

Roof will be cut out and re roll a new skin....work involved is monumental.
Pics coming for those with a massive bottomless wallet and strong stomach
