    Rob House's Chevy from Paso Robles, CA years ago. Sans hood and painted blue at the time. Shot on 35mm color slide; I loved that car at first sight! It was fun shooting it for World of Rods (RIP) Courtney Hallowell!

    Why NOT chop a convertible?
    Beautiful car, chopped or not. Love your color choices.

    I would say the best 49 to 52 chevy would be Larry Watson's Grapevine

    Let's bring this 3 year old post back up with Heath Murray's '51. I'm not sure I'd consider it the best, that's hard to do, but it sure is gorgeous. [​IMG][​IMG]
