Thanks, the whole top is gas/hammer welded. No Mig welding was performed on this chop. It does take longer, but it sure looks pretty, and you dont have to grind.
Is that the twins car? I haven't been out to Ray's shop in a while.... Gas welding and hammer welding is the only way to go on those things...You never did get back to me about the turned panels... I have some copper I want you to do... Jason.
Yeah, this is the twins shoebox. Sorry, about not getting back to you things have been pretty hectic lately and the engine turning has kinda dropped to the back burner, but we are still doing it.
Chop looks awesome!! I wish I could have hammer welded mine. With that notch on the frame do you need to raise the wheel wells up? I'm going to notch mine about the same heighth and I don't want to screw with the wheel wells. Thanks
thats a nice chop,,the proportions are excellent,,a lot of people tend to overchop these in my opinion,,
my grampa had a 50 brand new, its at the top of my cars i want list, this one is lookin really good, nice work
That'd be a genuine "Harlan Chop(tm)"! Look's good...glad to see the twin's car back together after it got wrecked. Neal
I'm diggin' the restraint on that chop...while the hardcore chop on the other one looks mean, it also looks "new." Keep the progress pics comin'. Bryan
It is coming back together nicely. We are planning an overhead V8 in it now as opposed to the old flat 6. It should haul ass. I see what you are saying about the "new" look. i like to think of it as neo traditional. We are planning a full new floor for this which we should be starting next week. There are a couple little tricks up our sleeves for that but its a secret. until I post the pictures here anyway. think riveted panels.
the floors are coming together nicely. all rivets are hand hammered. It gives it a nice industrial feel inside the car.
