Customs Chop a perfectly good shoebox ?

Some would say "why chop a perfectly good shoebox?"

Back in my early teens I was inspired by my good (late) friend "Crazy" Art Fullington. He introduced me to guy's like Bailon, E.L.A-Gil Auto Butchers Valley Cutsom etc. So the p***ion for Kustoms started. Lately I've been inspired by my good friend Greg... a.k.a. "The G-Man". Many times when I would lose the car fever- he's talked me out of selling/trading my car. Greg introduced me to one of the recent great car kustomizers Jeff Myers and a few months ago I was fortunate to have Jeff accept the challenge of choping my "perfectly good shoebox". I now have the fever again!
(Rumor has is it Ian B will working on "el zapato" too.)
Stand back and watch the masters work.

 

Most here would say "Why not?"...LOL. Share the results when it's done, eltoro! Have fun.
