Gene, I'm with ya  Just different cars are easier or harder to do that too.. nice big vertical straight sections of sheet make life a lot easier. As for windows straight glass is a joy.
Sectioning a 40s pickup truck is a walk in the park. Andrew M Onterrible 30ish |

I hope he doesn't mind me posting pics of his project. Not a body-man doing this. 
It's coming along very nicely... almost ready for final paint. (Yes, it will now have three diffs instead of one, and two cams on top of five cylinders with a big hairdrier on the side) Pete Remner Cleveland, Ohio 1984 RX-7 (rallycross thing) 1978 Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver. |

It was an Audi Fox.
Wheelbase shortened almost exactly one foot... goal was Sport Quattro spec. For some reason Audi folks have no issue with cutting up perfectly fine vehicles to give them short wheelbases. There are probably more SQ clones out there than Audi ever produced, and half of them still have the shallow-raked coupe windshield.
