A Nice Haircut, or, Chopping a '37 Ford Coupe

Keep the fridge cold I have to see this car . I do like the drop in the front of the roof Henry put in it . But you did one heck of a job on this curvy top .

 

Excellent workmanship!

 

I still don't have Big enough Balls to attempt this on my own.....Very nice job looks great...John

 

looks beautiful. The dash is sick.

 

I was wondering what 37 that was that was supposedly floating around the shop for a while, until I saw the uh... "blue" wheels. Ha, ha. That chop rules.

 

I think I might give my 39 a haircut very cool.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. And you stop by any time bluestang, there's always beer in the Frigidaire!

The '39 should almost work out the same way as far as chopping it. The bodies are close enough in design that I would almost say the cuts should be very close to what we did.

Wait until you guys see the grill work we're going to do!!

 

This is nicest looking chop on fat fender that I have ever seen ... how much was taken out of the B post?

3" total vertical.

 

A certain person on here, from a certain publication, PMed me a while back wanting photographs of this chop. I've lost your PM. If you are still interested, please PM me again!! I have the CD of photographs ready to go.

 

Love the dash and the chop is 19GA ***!

 

Kids! I have to tell you! I have seen this thing in person and pictures do not do this chop justice at all! Top notch work for SURE!! They make it look so damn easy... Jeesh...

 

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

The chop is sweet, but it's the dash that is fantastic! So often, the interior is overlooked; not here. Great job, thanks for posting.

 

Didn't think I say it but that chop looks great. But then again the roof looked great originally. Ha! That dash work is over the top.

 

Thanks a lot guys. We're going to start on the front end this next week.

 

Awesome job!!!

Sorry, but still Smokked up in tha' Great Smokey Mountains, of Ten-eee-cee !

 

We finished the fabrication on the car and the customer took it to Az. where he lives. We were only contracted for the fabrication. That was 6 months ago +. I'm not sure what he was going to do to finish it. I do know that he mentioned having two mortgages, blah blah blah. Really nice guy, but I think the economy got him. I hope it's done someday!
