Chopped 57 Buick Gets Paint

Well I finally got some paint on the old Buick (silver frost) but, that's it for a while as I'm back in Florida for the winter. I think the top really turned out good. Spring will be here soon --- RIGHT?

roof looks great i like that you kept the lines

 

nice looking Buick,do you have a pic of the side view?

 

Oh man I liked it in primer but this is great. Did you by chance think to leave the keys with a neighbor so I can exercise it for you while you're gone? LOL

 

phat rat-----I left the garage door open, keys in the cars; if you have the time give the Merc some exercise too. Thanks.

Yes I can see them wide open and the keys in them, NOT. But definitely a good comeback. LOL

 

I really like the chop, very nice and the silver sets it off. Good choice.

 

Nice Chop!!

 

Beautiful! That seems like a really difficult roof to chop right, and boy did you ever do it right. I love it!

 

Good color choice TwoChops....that car looks great!

For those of you only able to look at it in pics let me tell you there wouldn't be any disappointment seeing it in person. He did a fantastic job on it.

Man, it looks good! I'm starting a 57 Olds and I was wondering how much trouble that tri rear window was gonna be during the chop.

Check your pm's.

 

Only one word for it-STUNNING ; well maybe two words-GORGEOUS; well probably more but, well, you know...

 

NICE JOB! looks really good....... Did you sink the windshield or have the gl*** cut?

Currently stripping my 57 for the chop.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------Good luck on your chop- all windows were sunk,the small
rear windows require alot work-----read my answer in
thread #17 should help you.

Twochops....Man thats nice. Not something you see often and very well done. You should be proud. Spring is a LONG way off. Enjoy the Sunshine State. Stuck in NY for the winter

 

Great chop, great paint, outstanding work.

 

Will it be in Daytona? It's beautiful.

 

Wow!! That's one beautiful Buick...I don't think you could've done a nicer job on the chop. Really flows...

Kool Chop!! I love '57 Buicks stock, when you chop one, you just throw it
over the top. Sure would hate to have to leave it at home. Congrats with
your progress and keep us updated with the progress........

Happy Trails,

Mick
