awesome work. to me the back end around the lights needs something and the headlights remind me too much of a VW beetle, Still amazing work overall car looks great.

Bump for newbee's or non-Pennock ppl with question(s). I'v been getting alot of email's lately. Hey Orville, have you driven your cars lately? Sonic's sounds like a good impromptu meet with Rickaddygt?

Orville is a craftsman for sure. I would have gone a different way on the front, but I've been studying this car to try and see how he did the chop. This Buick windshield could be the answer to my chop t-top windshield problem.
Orville, if you are reading, please post more pics of the front. Especially in the cowl area with the hood open. Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Orville and he is currently working on #3 choptop using the Eclipse front windshield. The windshield is only 3 or 4" longer but with a curviture.

Interesting...No offense to Will-Martin, but the right way to chop a car is to start with the glass and chop around it. Doing it the otherway around is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'll never find any glass to fit. If I ever get #14 "finished" I'll have some time to figure it all out.

Orville brought one of his cars out to the West Coast Fiero BBQ last Saturday. It had a Series III 3800SC and a modern dashboard (not sure what car, maybe a new Grand Prix?) inside . Pretty cool!
