Looks like you've done a lot of body work already, RRPjr. Gotta follow this one!

Thanks, yes just a little bit..So far I've removed the trim, filled in the side windows, added the front and rear custom kit parts and scratched in the truck line. 

Some shots without the tape!!

Thanks for looking...

Oh, and stretched the doors..

Looks like a cool project.

Kool! And a nice start! The Foose wheels seem to be a good choice for it.

Your project reminds me of Billy F. Gibbons´ Kopperhed which I built some years ago

Since I first saw it I'm a great fan of the 3-window -Shoebox conversion and I wonder why Ford never produced it...

Thank you Ray.

Oliver, your 3W looks great, I was going to build mine as a more traditional style but then changed my mind after I stuck those Foose wheels under it, I'm going to try my hand at doing a custom modern interior.

3-window is a good look for these. Did you shorten the roof at all (move the C-pillars forward) ?

Bill, all that I did was make some fillers and then drew in the new door lines where I thought they looked best. The black line is the original door line.

Thanks. What you did worked well.

Very nice start, great looking wheels..

Looking good, but I would be SO tempted to put a T-bird porthole in that c-pillar! This is a nicely executed custom so far. Following.
