Me and jay were talking about removing the rear bumper and doing a roll pan back there, but i would like to see some pics of that first. Justin will let us do whatever we want with it, but i would prefer to get back to work on my truck.
IMO, all the old round cars look better with rolled pans and nerfs.... also depends on whether the owner wants some chrome showing, bumpers, trim, etc, or going for the smooth look with no chrome...... I guess both ways look good, I just don't like chrome is all......

Still be able to move some of the tin that drooped when you grind, it puts enough heat into the steel to be able to shrink it some... The dingin', pingin', and shrinkin' is probably the most labor intensive part of a chop, but when done correctly it sure does save a lot of work later....
