***Munster's 51' Chevy coupe Chop***

I love it too, makes me wish i did that with my chevy!! But i didnt know how back 2 years ago!!

 

Who's car are you cutting next???

 

Not sure!! I gotta do some finishing work on Big Eddie's chopped Merc, that's all i know!! I might buy a 49 52 chevy and customize it and sell it, if there's nothing going on!! Gotta stay busy!!

 

Geeeez man! You just started and its already done!
Yeah i know, its not 100% done but almost......
unfortunateley everything has already been said and i dont wanna sound boring,
just congrats for a bitchin job, and i suspect its gonna be quite often
from now on.
oh and btw, i think those hubcaps that are on right now are quite perfect, did
you say are poncho items?

 

Talked to my wife last night about our 54!!! Greasing the wheels man.

I told her well if we go to the Roundup it's like half way there so perhaps we could trailer the '54 to Cali before. Not sure if it worked but like I said greasing the wheels.

 

Than Bonez!!

The caps with the white lines are olds, but Munster just got a set at a swap meet but i dont know what they are?

HAHA!! The distance really blows! JJ,we'll still be friends if you don't bring you car to Cali, so NO PRESSURE my friend...... I understand!!

But i won't disappoint!

HAMB DISCOUNT ????????

 

You know you can always take a vaca to Texas to chop a 54 if you like! You know you want to come to Texas and all! I think I'll probably end up forgetting most of the stuff from the class before I get to chop it!

 

HAHAHAHAH!! That made laugh pretty good man!!!

HAMB discount for sure!!! I wouldnt know what i know without you guys and you wouldnt know me for shit too!!

 

You should have bought the videos man!!! The whole class is in there!!

 

Judging by what you charged Omar if you offer a HAMB discount you will be paying guys to work for them.

 

LOL!!! Well things a changing a bit here!!

It's a little bit more than that now!!!

Im still affordable, but it ain't free.....It's a lot of work!!

 

Finally a thread that makes me want to comment. Eddie, if that car don't get ya laid a bunch, nothing will. The chop is pure sexy.

 

I hope to next in line for a I.B. chop... who wants to buy a kidney

 

Cool!!!! HAHA!!

You're funny!!

 

Well, i just ordered a deluxe kit from EASTWOOD of the lead free and im gonna lead the chevy!! You gotta start somewhere right??!! It really wont take much! I watched their video and it looks pretty simple and straight forward. I would like to use the real deal but the health hazard always turned me off!

 

I have heard the lead free is harder to use than actual lead as it has a higher melting temp.


You will have to let me know who it works as i am debating over the lead free and the regular lead.

 

Ok, so I had a chance to stop by Ian's on my "lunch break" yesterday and have seen Munster's car up close. BTW, great to meet Munster and Chris Casny, as well (finally putting faces to the screennames). Two words came to mind, "HOLY FUCK!". What an amazing job Ian is doing and is completely humble and grateful for all the compliments. I was there and still just blown away that Ian is getting down like this in his driveway.

Again, thanks for the hospitality and let me apologize in advance cuz you're prob'ly going to be seeing me alot.

P.S. next time I am wearing my reeboks

 

I'll let you know for sure, i guess like everything there are PROS AND CONS but I won't know unless i try!!

Great to meet you too brotha!! You're always welcome man!! Chris and Munster are some good people, but they always bring Coronas and....... LOL!!

Thanx for the kind words brotha!!!


Reeboks!!!

 

So, Ian, did the template work out pretty well for you with the circle to stretch and the wheeling lines? I hacked off the back of my Plymouth because I wasn't happy with it. I'm going to be making full sail panels like you did for this Chevy. Any advice would be awesome. I really like your work.

 

Thanks I have to mold in the headlights on my truck http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=307305&page=3
and like you I have never used lead before.

 

Gonna send you a PM later!! Thanx man!!

I love your truck!!! WOW!!! The front end is beautiful!!!

 

Im done with the roof, on to the garnish now!!!

But i had to take for a spin, not just around the neighborhood either!!! Sorry Munster!!!


Went to the Liquor store!



Stopped by my Homie's House!



The comfortable and safe driver's seat!

 

Flip it over in case you have to pee. Just surf the pedals and whiz!

 

Ian, what would you charge to chop my daily driver? (Toyota 4Runner)

 

hahahahaha!!! :d

 

Then what will you drive for the next 10 years????? Ian can chop it.... its the getting it back on the road I am worried about

 

I know a lot of you guys that run bags are pretty dead set on a certain size tire because it allows you to lay the frame form front to back but this car is screaming for some 7.10 firestone's like a Merc!!! I am pretty much a tire nazi and it may be my most favorite thing to look at on cars....maybe not but I fantasize about them a lot.

Scooter, never mind that toyota. Your 35 will be your daily once you get off your ass and stop screwing around on that Briggs!!! What the hell have you been doing lately. I think you should take some lessons from Ian here. This dude hustles!!!!









I should talk huh?

 

HAHAHA is the split in the bucket so when you hit a bump you don't squash your balls?

 

Thanks. Much appreciated!!
