Customs ***My first Shoebox chop for my first customer...Thanx Omar for trusting me!!***

Now your just starting to piss me off

Seriously though, looks real good, nice job....

 

The chop looks really good. Well thought out and very well executed. Good job!

 

You suck !!
Checking with ryan to see how we can get you banned from the hamb !! You are bad for morale around her , makes some of us look really bad. You just wait till you get to kansas!!! Were going to throw you a beatin!!

 

man ian i have to say, you have come a long way from the old days! thanks for the great work! and yea guys i was sick to my stomach! no lie! i was thinking in my head, i just fucked up my car! the lines are perfect!!!! thanks sooo much i never thought my car was ever going to look this good!

remember when you got you chevy, and i was like, man! you have a long road ahead of you. well my friend, you have arrived!!! we still have a long way to go! thanks bro! love you man!

 

Awesome job Ian!! Really the perfect chop for a shoebox!! Nice!!

 

i had nothing to lose! did you see his chevy when he first got it? i was scared though!

 

You got an eye for those panels!!!!!!
SWEET

 

HAHAHA!! You're lucky I'm not allowed my brass knuckles on the flight!!
CAN'T WAIT!!

 

I'm glad you're stoked!! That's what matters!!

Ian

 

Thank you to every single person for the kind words. I type too slow to thank everybody one at a time.

I truly appreciate the motivating words!!

Ian

 

bad ass!

 

Fucken a looks like you are very methodical when you work very nicely done man.

 

Thanx a lot man! I am the most anal, clean, OCD motherf$#@er there is!! It's ridiculous, sometimes I'll put away tools even if i know I'm gonna need them later. I can't stand to have cords and hoses and whatever on the ground...... I find it distractive and i can't concentrate!!

As far as grinding the paint off... It needs to be straight and symetrical or I feel my work is sloppy and it's all crooked and dirty!!
WEIRD!!

Ian

 

Omar, bring the rear glass tomorrow, I wanna see how well it flows!!

Thanx

 

chop looks great!! damn close to one i have at the shop, nice and stretched out!! how do you like that e-wheel? its one of the ones from a ebay store? shoeboxes are a lot more work than a merc!! chop looks damn good.

 

Wow! That side shot profile shot is freaking amazing. You make it look easy! So how long is the waiting list? Looks like a new shop is coming to town.

 

Hey thanx a lot!! This is my first E wheel and i'm still learning to work with it. It seems to work good, but since i've never tried a real expensive pricey one, I don't know the difference!

It's from Craig's affordable tools. It needed some tweeking to make it work better and i also extended the legs an extra 8"

It's definitely not as easy as i thought!!

I'd love to see the shoebox you're talking about.

Ian

 

Hey thanx a bunch!! I'd love to have a shop but my garage is just fine for now That way i won't get in over my head and take too many projects at a time.

1 car at a time!!

I have somebody who wants his 51 chevy coupe chopped, mildly!! He's next i guess, if he still wants it done when I'm ready!!

Ian

 

Great work

 

you've got some talent-looks great.

 

its on hold at the moment yours is a little lower but here is a couple of pics.. i was checking out that e wheel didnt look to bad for the price..

 

great work! I like it....and you are in SOCAL! cool. keep at it, i want to see more from you!

 

Thank you guys again!!

Hey Man, Beautiful chop!! SUPER CLEAN!! That's how i get inspired, By guys like you!! Thanx !!

Ian

 

this is no bullshit! one day Ian got in to my work truck, mind you my WORK TRUCK! gmc tool boxes and all! and there was this film of fine dirt all over the dash and floor boards. i had been wiring some custom homes with no time to wash my truck. plus its a work truck, the last thing i want to do is was my truck after working all day in the fucken heat.

and Ian face looked just like this and he said"homie your truck is sooo fucken filthy! whats wrong with you?" i laughed sooooo hard! but yea thats Ian! gotta love him!

 

hahahaha!!

 

looks fucken sweet!

 

G'day mate.
Very nice job on the shoebox.
I really like the way you have got the flow lines correct from all visual angles, also your use of lesser panels in the roof/rear window install.
Congrats and for all the future chops too.
