    at least i thought it was that one, i remember getting a red EG front end from you. we picked it up in another hatch and couldn't believe we got the hood, both fenders, rad. support and bumper all into the car.

    If you come across a cobra in the wild, wipe it off and apologize.

    You seem very talented from following your El Camino and this project.
    The video was very well done and I think you showed both your abilities and your professional demeanor and I hope you get the spot with Power Nation!

    Thankyou! It would be amazing to get a spot, but I'd be geeked to just go for an interview and see the tech center.

    Lots of work to be done, but first a selfie

    Then on to drip rail delete, I first cut the drip rail into sections, then removed every other section and welded em

    This keeps the roof skin from "springing" or warping
    Then it was a matter of tack welding and moving to keep a lot of heat from building up and warping the metal..
    Once it was all welded, I just hit it with the grinder

    Decision has been made and cutting has started, 4" chop it is
    Braced up

    Marked out

    With the fresh hair cut

    And the quick mockup




    Roof needs to be quarterd and cuts need to be cleaned up (as they were done with only a saws all...)
    But so far so good.
