    Has anybody chopped a 46 ,47, or 48 GM fastback Olds Pontiac Buick or fleetline. I have a 46 Olds Fastback and am looking for as many ideas, links or pictures if possible. I am thinking 2 to 3 inch not too much, If I drive into a lake or river I would like to swim out if you now what I mean. Open for ideas, Thanks.

    You have to bring the whole thing down including the decklid to do it right.

    Hard chop to pull off, but when done right they look so damn good! Mr48chevy is 100 percent correct, you have to take the top down along with the entire rear deck or it will look like ass.

    Lots of work on the back. 1956 ford rear bumper built the back pan with 59 Nash metropolitan door tops bumper was set back 12 inches the fenders were widened 4 inches. 48 cad tail lights. Fenders were dropped 4 inches and hand formed. Here's what it looked like in bare metal.
