This sight is like The Twilight Zone.
I'm not jealous or hating. Its just the choice of car for the work. The work looks great, paint came ot nice and the engine bay is sick. My post is simply my opinion. Far from jealousy. I would have just picked a different car. As far as the idiot comment it was meant for all the people who jumped to conclusions that I was "hating or jealous". Thats that. [patriot]

Fuck that car, and yes I HATE IT. Not because its cool, because the car fucking sucks dick. The engine bay looks cool but the TTops are crap. Drive that shit into the pacific.

Not sure how I missed this but my god this person should demand a refund from wyotech. They stole his money.

Now don't take this the wrong way but most of the following is for the safety and knowledge of those on this forum to prevent them from making some mistakes.

Nobody chops a top without bracing. Compressor right next to the gas water heater? And then spraying in there the way it looked with a nice cloud of paint(isocyanates can kill you-they can be absorbed thru any membrane). Nevermind the fact the oil compressor is pumping away a mist of oil every compression stroke(contaminates a potentionally good paint job) . Please tell me you at least shut off the water heater.(solvent based paint is highly flammable)

Yes I noticed he didn't use bracing but hey I guess it didn't collapse on him if it all worked at the end. I know personally I'd put braces because I've seen people chop tops on their cars and have seen a few projects scrapped because of it collapsing itself. Now about all the other stuff you're talking about I wouldn't really know about it besides having good airflow and not breathing that stuff in.

Yeah, their are couple coupes on ca face edition who did the same conversion without using a brace. They just simply cut the a pillar and rivited the t top brace is what I see not even a tack weld was put on. So you if get in a front end crash what would happen will it hold up or not Idk? I would of weld the sucker in and put a roll bar.

CAFords Facebook edition. LOL I see the most hacked up shit on there I don't even bother looking at peoples rides they're ALL buckets with so many damn issues. Then you see retards wishing they had the money to buy a coupe with half the interior missing gets swung on the weekly but has decent paint/wheels going for $6,500 obo talking about fully built with GT40 heads and a e-cam.
