Thankyou everyone, I look at that photo and think the windshield is to tall, but it is what it is.
That's about as low as I can go in the front, but the back will drop a little more, just need parts, roadster shackles to be specific.

I will save what ever it is, I have windows 8 at the moment, it said it was for XP/vista/7.
I just called my computer guy today, and told him this wasn't going to work for me, so he is going to go buy a computer for me that has XP on it, he knows a place, and we will download everything I need to have what I had before for photos and email, I will use that one for my camera downloads, and transferring photos to picasa and photobucket, and posting them on the forums, I might even set it up for another email account and open a new PB account, as PB is saying I am almost maxed out on my bandwidth.
ATM I have to use Firefox to post photos from picasa, google chrome don't work on picasa anymore with windows 8, and the computer guy couldn't get it to work either, he played with it for a while and then suggested firefox, I could post photos from picasa with IE also, but it's a pain to switch back and forth, and I also got confused a couple times also.

Thanks guys,
The top is as smooth as I am likely ever going to get it, I am sure there are others that can do it better, but for now it will have to do till I get the rest of it to the same point, then I will decide if I am going to send it out to be finished, or if I will try to do the rest myself, I have everything needed to paint this truck but the paint.
I have painted a roadster in the past, I only received negative comments, I put to much on to fast.

Haters gonna hate
It's alright if you just aren't a painter man. Some people got it, some don't. I did decent in the past with a gun and compressor. It's been a few years tho now. You've done well so far with all the measuring, cutting, welding, fabrication. Keep it up. I saw this thread red and thought there would be moar pictures

Welcome
Nice to see you here.
Thankyou, it's been a long project so far, but it's drive-able now, but very noisy, as it has no interior yet, but I want to get the exterior done and painted or at least sealed before the winter, so it won't start rusting.

I have the two rear panels behind the rear wheel wells close now, the tailgate I will take off to do, the panel behind the passenger door is close, now I need to work on the panel behind the driverside door, I am hoping in the next couple weeks to prime most of it, then I will see what it really looks like one color, the multi color look hides a lot.
I am plugging away at this, I really don't like this type of work, but I am learning.
