Shaved rear hatch

So, my panel got rear ended over the weekend ( hit and run ) by my a-hole neighbors. Luckily only took damage to the hatch. Anyways, I found a custom shaved hatch and just had to snatch it up. It came off a trade-in from a dealership out of Indiana, so I'm still waiting on it to ship. Just gotta paint it, and relocate the plate and release.

Here's the damage and I only had the .net vinyl on for two days


And the new hatch

It's going on the panel, the wagon is still gonna get chopped into a truck, so I don't wanna cut up a perfectly good custom hatch. I finally found someone to chop up my ride, so that's goin down soon too.

Man, that is gonna look good!

Also, being fairly new...this is the first I am hearing of the wagon into a truck and I must say; totally jealous!! I was thinking about how cool that would be just a few days ago.
Then had a thought about how one might create a front fender-less HHR...my vision was something bagged, chopped, with a narrower hood, no front fenders, open wheel/suspension, and an old style grill...maybe '37 or similar. Oh, and stand alone headlights.
