ok here is a build that started out as one thing but will end up as another i was just gonna build a regular W9 with a flat top sleeper with the headlights converted to the new square style but hen i decided i wanted to try somthing new that i had never did and that i had only seen done a few times so here are a few pic of what ive done so far i have chopped the windshield about 8 scale inches and the back of the roof about 4 to give it a nice rake and chopped look and in doing this i also had to shorten the cab due to inexperiance about 1to2 inches but if i do another one i will know what to do next time here are a few insparation shots of a 359 turned custom but mine will still be a tractor IMG]    i saw this and was amazed i have had these pix for some time now and here is what i got so far light buckets had to go  no external cleaners as it will all be smoothed out  filler pannel and flat sheet put in top of hood to get arch out   here is what i took out of the hood  cut off the pipe supports  cut out the doors ima try and do suicide doors dunno if i can or not but im gonna try  off with the top   here is what i took out of the top  basic look of how its gonna be i have it glued together just gotta get new pix  hope ya like it so far.
