the "Chopper" Rod Shop

Hello Hamb'rs
I opened my shop for business in 1976,and am located in Elmer[N.East.] Missouri.
I specialize in chopping tops,but can and do a lot of other one off metal work and Custom Car modifications here as well.
If you can think of it ,I can most likely do it....
I have done many Top chops over the years,well over a thousand so far and counting,with many happy customers which are available as a reference if you like.
I am very affordable cost wise and have done many high profile cars -so you will have to try hard to beat my prices and quality too!
Quick turnaround- great prices and perfect Chops,what's not to like!
I will post a few pics of work here and hope to continue serving you Hamb'rs.

Here are a couple more chops I have done...
32 Pickup for Mern in Arizona,
and 32 5W for John from Kansas

 

I've hauled several customer cars to and from the "Mayor of Elmer", and even had him chop my '32 sedan a few years ago. Great guy, super work & happy customers. What more can you ask for these days?

 

Kenny installed a Mustang II front suspension and smoothed the firewall on my '37 Nash, along with many other "small" metal fabrications on the car. Excellent work at a very reasonable price. He has also given me a lot of advice on other projects that I am doing myself. Kenny is a stand-up guy!

 

Heres a good before and after pic. Kenny Chopped my49 a few years back. Wow what a difference.

 

Kenny is the best.

 

Just a word to let y'all know I do many aspects of your car's work....
Take floors for example-
a good 18 ga C/R steel floor that fits and looks good [HEY dont have to be a Riddler winner]- type floorboards done right and done at a low price!!

I can typically do an entire floor from scratch=INSTALLED= in your car for less than the" Bitchingest floors type companies" will sell you the peices in a pile on the floor!!
I do them all not just the popular few offered in the market by such bigbox hotrodshops.....
Here's some pics of a 35 Chevy floor done recently at my shop......

 

Summer Special 2013......Like a trip to the financial past!=MOST CHOPS,STARTING AT 2000.00
SOME are more of course if extras are added.
Still the fastest turnaround time and best looking chops in the market!!

Kenny chopped my 34 in 4 and a half days. If i wasn't there i wouldn't have believed it. He is the best. Thanks again Dan
