I'm going to love watching this one go together, awesome project. My wife had a 66 GT convertible with a 273 when I met her, of course that was in 1973. Subscribed

The reason for cutting it in half is we wanted the car to look more aggressive and have better proportions. These car are really narrow and really long, so we wedge cut the roof 2 inches and instead of leaning the A pillar or lengthening the roof we decided to shorten the car 2 inches behind the B pillar. We also stretched the wheelbase 2 inches and that will allow us the move the front wheel opening forward in the front fender 4 inches to make the overbite go away.

Thanks. We enjoyed watching you wheel the hell out of your car in Texas a couple of years ago.

Thanks to Brian Stupski for the killer job on the front end design. The front bumper is boxed on the back side and so the openings supply air to the air box witch will be located on the drivers side under the headlight.
