That is a an awesome Ranchero! Congrats on that test drive. I tend to be a little more "stock" but your car is very slick, love the headlights and grill...

Yes Sir, that's a good looking unit. And if you got a vote from Lalessi1 you got mine! Nice Truck. Drive her like you own her.

Outright gorgeous!  Would like to know about the roof. Is there a sunroof  on there?

great job, that looks like a JW Enterprises Glory grill 1/2" tube it really looks good I used the 3/8" and almost think I would have done better with the 1/2" tubes. I too am curious about the top.

Yes, when I got the project, a previous owner has already cut the roof, I was going to close it up, but decided to go bigger.
The roof opening is almost as big as the canvas top, which slides to the rear.
After the car is back fro the interior shop, I'll post a picture.

Here is an OLD pic of this type  of top on a 57.

When i first saw the picture  immediately thought volkswagen fold back top due to its bulk. Seems my first thoughts were on the right track.
