Art & Inspiration ¡¡¡ The Mother Of All Chopped Threads! ¡¡¡

I think that's the first pic I've seen of the car when you started! Hell of a clean start and hell of a current state. You did good amigo

 

Another great chop!
That is just perfect,you really have talent.

Nice thread!

 

Barefoot, That is one awsome '50 Olds.
My brother had a black '50 fastback back in the fifties, but it damn sure didn't look that fine!

 

My '55 Merc is in the process of getting a chop:

Old 2" chop

 

My good friend Shaun's- 6 1/2" chop

 

Drool Drool Drool!

 

Holy hot-damn that is a mean looking hot rod!

 

Thanks. I've had some really good teachers.

 

I was disappointed when I heard you sold your A.......But then I look at this picture.

 

Isn't though? I wish he'd build it just like that. Looks so damn good!

 

Ok, I'll play. I wanted to use the stock seat and still have some headroom, plus I'm not into severe chops unless it's purpose built (salt or drag).

The specs: '33 5W with 2" chop and window cut 1.5." Plus, moved the rear half of the roof forward 3/4" which lengthened the rear deck. I didn't want slanted posts either, so these are at stock angle. Finally, it was important to me to keep the proportion of the rear qtr. window (something I see done wrong in a lot of 33/34 chops). I know this is pretty mild compared to a lot of chops here, but it's exactly what I want.
Note: The doors and tops have been welded up now, but Marshall has not rolled it out and sent me updated pics yet! Hint, dude!

 

Killer Comet!

 

I chopped the Chevy 4 3/4" in the front and 4 1/2" in the rear. The "A" was chopped 5".

 

Isn't this coupe the same one listed in the classifieds last week for 18K that started a bidding war?

 

Yup.

 

I took only 2 1/2” out of this this 50 sedan.Very conservative chop. Leaned the windshield back. If I were to do it again, I’d take 3 out of the rear .

 

I took 5 inches out of this 5 window,and 6 inches out of the 36 W in the back round.

I chopped this 5W 3 3/4 and the 51 Merc 4 frt, 6 rear,installed 50 rear window.

 

can't have a chopped thread without this badass sedan...................I miss this kid

 

Andy was and still is a Ruler!!! Great car and a testimony to goodness in peoples hearts.

 

holy crap gas is only 2 bucks!!!!!!

 

Here is my 5" chop...

 

Cool car man! Nice to see something different, done so nice!
