Hi guys, I'm happy to present to you the last hot Italian project.
Its name is "Deep Passion".
I'm talking about this 54 oval window found some years ago incomplete and in really bad condition. Felt a mission impossible to restore it but after 300.000.000 hours the project is nearly finished. Grin
Enjoy....




























Stay tuned....


Bella lì
Mauro

Cool! So the whole rear section of the roof was dropped straight down? Was it leaned forward too?

heheheeeeheheaaa it MUST be ready for EBI Grin

Zach.....Yes it was leaned forward.
If I remember well the eliminated body section (lateral vision) was 5cm at the rear and 11cm at the windshield.
My friend Fabio has some pics about the measurements before the cut.....you know what I mean.....with masking tape.
Tomorrow I'll show them for sure


Good night
