I like the way your trunk moldings line up, come help me with mine, great look job, you've come a long ways.
Oh man is that nice 
I took a couple pictures of Mike's first ride in his "new" bubble top. Looks great Mike.
You are one hell of a body man, that car looks outstanding!!! Love the wheels!!!
Hey Jim, thanks for the pics. And thanks Skip and Kevin for the kind words. It sure is a good feeling to finally come to the end of a long time consuming build, but without Jim's help it never would have been possible. If I must say soooo, we did a pretty nice job Jim... A few small things to take care of, and after that I will take several more pictures of the finish product, and then just enjoy.....
We all know the feeling of a complete restoration accomplishment, your ride is one sweet looking memory of the past. I'd like to get yours and mine together for a picture. She's real fine my 409..... now shift into 2nd....

One guy asked me if this was an early model of a car that

I know of a Chev roof replaced 35 yr ago, no stressing of sheet metal, never a spider crack in glass. I visited a few GM assembly plants a while back, saw various stages of production, most would agree this roof installation a bit stronger than factory.
