my 49 first chop job

">ive been working on my 49 shoebox... first time chopping a top.lowered the front with dropped spindals,, have to lower rear still thinking midnight blue with wide whites... just have to finish shaving it ect..what do you think.. cant wait to start my next one..">

 

5 1/4 front rear... im thinking about 6 or 7 i the rear. slanted pillars.. also..

 

looks pretty damn good, how long it take you to get your first chop done?

 

i figure about 40 hrs so far.. at first i was thinking boy how am i gonna fill that big rear gap ..but no turning back now.

 

Is that a sedan or coupe?

 

that came out looking really good. heres a link to a 51 ford chop me and my buddy just started last week. heading over there tomorrow to do some more work on it.

Looks good to me . I've been chopping a 41 chev for about 10 years. well not steady 4 10 years. Are you a body man ? I'm not. Soundsd like your on your way to a neat ride

Nice job!

 

The metal is flowing nicely with the chop. keep posting your progress

 

Looks great!!

you just made up my mind about what to do with my car.

how much did you take out of the front and how much out of back??

Great job...I was hoping Santa would leave me testicles large enough to attempt my chop myself!!......................Didn't happen!.....

 

Dang that looks awesome!

 

On your web site, you have the word FLUID badly misspelled under where it says "Bad to the Bone"...you might want to fix that. Nice car. Nice bikes, too.
