After looking at the pictures of the 62 Lancer that 805mopar did a cut and paste job on I decided to cut my car again and rake the windeshield back.Located a couple posts that a local friend has on a 62 Lancer that he is parting out.Made arrangements to cut them off his car at 4 today.I started cutting my car at 10 this morning.Took 2.5 off front of the top roof rails,to move it back, and lowered front of roof a half inche.Cut,pie-ed the posts to angle them back.Went and cut posts out of friends car and went back to shop and got one side done.I figure I am about 1/3 done,will get welding done tommorrow,then I need to make new windshield and side windows,after the touch up paint work is done.I think it will look better,Bee more areo,and will bee about 1 lb lighter.My guess is 40 hrs in this mod.Will bee done and ready for Vegas.Does anyone else think I am sick??Guzzi Mark

Mark,

You are doing all the stuff I've been too chicken to do for the last 15 yrs. Keep it up, my inspiring friend!

Maybe I'll drop my '64 Dart off at your place this summer for a tilt and chop job...

Looks good Mark, don't cut anymore out of the car or you will have a real Sub-Compact car.
