I like the cut over the roof following the B pillar window frame and the rear pillar following the window frames. This makes for a lot less cutting and a cleaner look, it only took me 3 chops to figure that out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I really like this shorty done on this board in the diesel section. Spider Or if your going for the nice climate open top chop I like the as seen above one. Both of those are way cool. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Toasty's is nice but wouldn't work in the climate I live in and mine is a bottom 4th or 5th place candidate.
