Leave it to Mr. Weld for the smart a** comments.
Come on Greg if we did that we'd leave out all the fun fabrication lol

I would think tipping the B-pillar forward slightly would be a good look.

This will be awesome!

Good idea, then he can park it next to all of the other Nomads and tri-fives at the car show that look exactly the same.

Another vote for "tipping that B forward". Less excited about the slider windows though.

Ok so here is another rough draft from Jason with the B pillar canted to match the rear. I really like this look and would much prefer to have one piece rear side windows. We will see what the client wants tomorrow.
Just filling in trim holes today

I went back and looked at both... a couple of times.... the "change" isn't really worth the cost IMHO. To a designer it might make a difference - but I don't think the average guy is going to care. They BOTH look good. There's where I put my $$ -- since the "original" version doesn't look "bad" it's kinda like "why bother". Put the money somewhere else that will make a difference. BUT it's an opinion -- and everyone has an opinion. I know... I went thru this on the '32.

Blah, blah, blah.

To me, the car has a totally different look with slanted b-pillars..... just like those other Chevy wagons.... What are they called? Oh, yeah: NOMADS!

The wagon, as shown in the revised (still tireless) version will look fast sitting still (I know, its an old, over-used saying). It will aslo give it a more modern look.

Eric I agree with you and did a little mock up last night to see what the canted b pillars will look like and it gives it a much more modern look and looks more like it came that way instead being an obvious 2dr conversion. But at the same time I get what Greg is saying and its all up to the client and deciding how much hes willing to let his wallet bleed for his tastes.
