I'm sure I found this picture here on the HAMB, but I don't remember any of the details. I love this thing -- I think its proportions are just amazing -- but I'd like to know more about it and I'd love to see it finished. It's really a very simple effort: a relatively mild, but beautifully proportioned, chopped top, and an outrageous job of lowering. Plus some wheels and tires. But the outcome is world cl***, IMO. Can anybody remind me about it? Edit: when I wrote that this was a very simple effort, I was referring to the fact that it really has only two major modifications -- the chop and the stance. I certainly didn't intend to minimize the tremendous amount of work that went into the rust repair and the chop, which are masterfully done.
Kinda looks like my 48 ( 4 sale give you a better place to start ) 25 K. Just need to lower it, change wheels.

That's definitely the car, thanks for identifying it. I, too, wonder what's become of it, and if it has ever been completed.
You and I both. The builder has been absent on the HAMB for a while. I agree, it is one of the better Short Door 46 Ford Coupes with a mild chop. The guy removed the extra weight from the Ford rear crown, something that is in all 40's era fords with a coupe roof. It has a MoPar roofline as a result and keeping those rear windows from shrinking too much, makes the chop all the more beautiful. The first time I saw it on here, I thought it was a photochop...I stared at the image and his work to see what was done. Wish we would get an update as well.
