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

Yep!!!

I just talked with Munster and he's picking up the coupe on saturday for glass and to get her ready for mooneyes.... i dont know about paint!!??

 

NO PAINT!!! C'mon Ian... you really need to get off your ass and get some work done! .... See ya at Mooneyes

 

Hell ya cant wait to see this car in person! And check out your ride as well Ian, See you there bro!

 

LOL!!! I dont know how to paint anyways!!!

See you there!!

Right on bro!!!! We'll be there!!

 

thanks so much ian!! i am excited about the work you did. can't wait til tomorrow and drive it!

no paint for mooneyes. i gotta get the windshield cut, new front tires, fix the brakes, and other little things. either way... see ya fuckers at mooneyes. cheers!!

 

Right on bro!!! Im glad you like it, i wish we had more time to do more detail shit but it is what it is!!! There's stuff like the drive shaft tunnel and other important stuff to do other than extending the shirts, i dont wanna rush that and have it come out half ass. so today im doing shit like that, package tray , tunnel, more lead and etc.....

 

cool stuff, hope to see the car at mooneyes

 

That bitch looks good you made it look too easy!

 

Beautiful work!

 

For sure!!!!

Thank you....... Definitely not easy!!!

Thank you!!!!

 

Goodbye for now!!!!

 

Those are way nice pics.The top looks awesome Ian.It almost has a factory-stamped feeling to it,like it never looked any different before.Very nice work man,be proud.You've got skills and a good eye.A hard to beat combo.

 

For a guy whos only done a few chops that thing looks awesome
. I would have no fear in dropping my car off in your hands Ian. Very nice work Bro.

I think we need to appoint a special guard to see that no harm comes to Ian. He is the chosen one.

 

Thanx so much!!! Im pretty stoked that Munster is stoked!!!

Thank you James!!!

LOL!!!! Crazy shit!!!

Thanx man!!!

 

Here's the deal........ Im pretty stoked on all the positive feedback, beyond, but with that comes A LOT of pressure!!!
This coupe is FAR FROM FLAWLESS, the lines are there for a real body man to make it perfect before paint, it's pretty damn close!!! Hell my car wasnt that nice before i took it to Jeff and it's straight as an arrow now!!!!

My point is, for those of you who will see the car at mooneyes or other carshows, take it for what it is, im not trying to be KING SHIT or pretending to be a builder I'm not. I know where i stand and i'm just trying to learn as i go, on my own pretty much.....Trial and error!!

I just wanted to clear things up so that when you see the car you know im still learning and doing the best i can with the skills i have now!!!!

I'm just a guy trying to learn and i know my mistakes, I've learned a lot on this coupe. Thank you Munster for giving me the opportunity to work on your car!!!!

Fuck , i'm a little overwhelmed with the pressure to perform......

I feel better now!!!

 

That 3/4 rear view in the driveway really shows what a nice shape the top has. The top looks great for any angle though. Nice work Ian.

 

Skills can be learned over time. The eye, however, you either have, or you don't.

You are not just doing fine, you are already doing better than most, and it will get even better over time.

Just make sure you wear your safety glasses, and don't hit your head too much.

I sleep with safety glasses!!!

 

What's your point here?

 

???? what? I dont know how to spray paint!!

 

You didn't know how to chop a car not so long ago either!

 

You're right, but i think painting and getting a car ready for paint is a whole different game!!

much love!!

 

Nice workmanship........

 

great workmanship Ian ! have followed this post from beginning , and the one on omar's ,andyor chevy also , kudo's for tackling all that , your chevy came out great ,jeffdid a killer job,and the upholstry is cool , enjoy mooneyes ,and keep the pics coming --joe

 

Ian you are the only guy I've ever seen post a disclaimer with his work. It wouldn't matter how spot on your work was someone with half the skills will still pick it apart and find a flaw. Be proud of what you did and stand behind your work 100%. When your car is at a show and some Joe comes up and gives you the what for over a certain little detail, cock your head to left a little and tell him "Fuck you, you're just looking at it from the wrong angle". Your workmanship is way beyond that of some guys who have been doing this for a lifetime.

 

just had to quote this reply to bring the pics over to this page. excellent job Ian very well proportioned and executed!

 

100% agreed !!!!!!

You a punk rocker nikka and you are still DIY, this is what being a car guy is all about . . . . . . . this a website full of dudes in their houses reading threads on their computers, [ myself included ] . . . . . . but you are fuckin doing it . . . . .

When this car is on the blvd and you see it cruise past you is when your work will speak for itself and no one can say shit . . . . . . . . . . . . because it looks so fuckkkkkin good.

Much love brotha!!!!!

Hope to meet you one day soon!!!

 

Thanx Lawrence!!!! You rule brotha!!!!!
