Looks good. I'd rework those quarter windows so they flow better. Really looking great thoughr

Wanted to keep the more VW look to the quarters and think they look pretty good, also did not want a really sharp point in the back part of the window that usually happens when ya chop this much. What did you have in mind for them?

:roll: Paul :lol: :D It looks great, there's not anything that can be changed that would still look similar to the original VW look. I've seen some with the rear window shortened, but it didn't look right IMO.

Bobby, if you did decide on a different shape, I have a shrinker-stretcher which makes it possible to make new window channels from scratch. Let me know if I can help.

None taken, just wanted to see what you idea was. I like the last red one the best, looks pretty darn good. Thanks Eric for the offer, I am going to add one to my pile of tools very soon. I almost bought one the other day but picked up a few other things instead but it is still on my list.
