Almost done. Slats or no slats? Dialup warning!!!!!!
« on: June, 13, 2009, 06:02:15 PM »
Time for 9 billion more pics :cool

With and without slats. I wish i would have tinted the back glass before I drilled the holes for the slats. I like it either way, but it looks pretty clean without.

No slats.  It gives the car a cleaner look.  Beautiful job on the car by the way.  That turned out great.

They do go with the spoiler and the hood, but I don't like the visibility block it creates.

I ain't got no slats on my RV......lol

Thought we were going for looks, not if anyone can see out the back or not. That's what mirrors are for.

I love slats on 69-70's.  I'd put them on my car if they didn't look quite so retarded.

If you hadn't given the car the Boss black out treatment no slats would be my choice, with the car blacked out you gotta have them. Beautiful car BTW, can the trunk lid alignment be improved??  :pbj

Yes. There is no bumpers or weatherstrip in place yet.

Thanks for the compliment.

Good thing your leaving the slats on. It saves me a trip to Texas to kick your butt for not putting them on. :skull

I went through the same decision on mine a couple of years ago.  Personally, I think it looks cleaner without the slats, but meaner with them.  I think the holes in the roof though, would dictate they stay on! :doh

I think you should leave them on, but have you decided what you are going to do yet?

Sanborn said to leave them on and he runs this joint with an iron fist so they will have to stay on.
