    I’ve had this body for a few years. Decided to have Cory at RJays do the chassis for me. I have chopped model As and pickups myself but for this one I leaned on a good friend for his expertise. Jeff Peterson at the Hot Rod Preserve laid out the cuts to be made last week and made the initial cuts. I’ll keep progress pics coming as we get more done. Looking killer so far IMG_0204.jpeg IMG_0209.jpeg

    Yes! That's got a sinister look going!

    Thanks man…. I can’t believe how fast it transformed after cutting the top and adding wheels / tires

    Love Jeff’s work, saw the video of him slicing and dicing this and was really zooming in on where and how he placed his cuts. Some clever stuff going on there!

    WOW! Great job, looks bitching. He's only 12 hours away pulling a trailer. Wish I'd have known about him when I did my deuce highboy tudor a couple years ago. 3.5/3 inch chop looks like a cakewalk for him. The last sedan chop took over 2 years of frustrating answers like I'm getting it done and countless 200 mile round trips. I'm to dam old to lose that much time. He's a well kept secret but I'll bet he's always busy?

    @krylon32 Jeffs a great guy, opened his own shop not to long ago and it putting out killer work. Before that he’s been at the south Austin speed shop, Rex rod’s and up in Wisconsin at Midwest fabrication with Bob Bleed.

    High skill level and an eye for detail it won’t be much longer and a lot of us will be able to spot one of his builds.
