Bob - thanks for the suggestion to lengthen the doors on my latest project.
Doors lengthened 3" chopped 3 1/2".
Next - Studebaker fins on the rear top of the bed.

You're welcome good sir, glad to contribute.

And, I'm glad you've recovered enough to be back at it. I'll bet your boy is pumped too. That is shaping up real well!!!!!

Two more thoughts Don. I don't know if you intend to put the vents back in the doors or not. It might be worth doing a mock up with and without, stepping well back for a perspective view, and then deciding. Having the vertical bar in there would change the appearance of the chop, and the visual shape of the cab turret proportions. My mind's eye can't tell at this point which would be more complimentary. With the Studey fins, and the likely elongated image they'd contribute to, I'm inclined to not do the vent because the stretched opening would play to that look. But it couldn't hurt to check out both ways.

Also, if you were inclined, there is now a one piece windshield available for this cab, thus eliminating any parting line.

Thanks again Bob.........Don
Ps-filling better,but can work only 2-3 hrs a day.

Lookin good, Don. Sure does look good sans the vent windows. Keep us updated and take it easy.

It's looking good Don. On the back of the cab I did most of my welding on the inside so I didn't have to grind down the welds just hide them behind the upholstery.
