    Looks great...you did a real nice job!! :cool:
     
  5. the plan is to go for suede aubergine.
    (dark purple)
     
  6. we want to slightly reangle the rear window and trunklid.
    the idea was to get some extra length.
    less shortening of the rear fenders.
    but it didn't work.
    we welded it back in the original position.

    a bit of extra work for nothing.
    we 'didn't have any examples for this shop.

    I think nobody has ever done a chop on these cars like this.

    the rear fenders are a bit fatter than before this way.
     
  7. thanks for the nice comments.

    it's my first topchop.

    my buddy did a '50 suburban before.

    This is a very unusual and ambitious mod, but I think you executed it very well. Nice work!

    Smooth. I'm not a big fan of tunneled tails, but that rear has some bodacious curves!

    and drive many many miles with it.
