    When the this sedan was built we did a poor job of taking any progress pictures of the car but here is what i have, the red sedan i know will not fit most of the folks on this site but still a nice 32 sedan.

    The black sedan was chopped in the early 60's and was done really well we only had to chase a few body lines and the normal rust repair and bump and dent to the car, The chop is 4" up front and 3" in the rear same as my 32 chopped in the same area around the same time. this was the first car that we took a Walden roof insert and sunk it down to give the top some strength but maintain the original look. this gave the car a lot needed strength and helps keep the original insert material from flopping in the wind at speed.

    The second sedan has a straight 3" chop all the way around.

    This sedan might not be on your guys list a little too much street rod flavor, but there were some good build pics.

    I deleted my comment on my sedan. I really don't want my personal projects or our customer projects to be perceived as a 1 800 u build it cars, each vehicle that runs through the shop is here for on average a year i know every nook and cranny of these cars and become emotionally attached to each one it is hard not to when you spend 10 hours a day with them, every car has it own soul each ride is different and for that i am not the one to judge a lot of the folks on here feel it is there job to judge so let them.

    Just my two cents doesn't really count. I am proud of the cars we turn out they are safe reliable and I stand by all our craftsmanship. i am very fortunate to able to do this for a living. Further post will refrain from any mentioning of the shop to keep the naysayers at bay.

    This is the downside of a HAMB with 80,000 members. You're bound to get a handful that have nothing better to do than ***** and moan. :D

    Beautiful work, keep it coming. I always look forward to your posts. It's absolutely amazing how much at***ude that extra inch gives the proportions of Henry's car.

    The black sedan has a stance to die for.
    You could put a 1.5 litre Diesel in that and it would still be perfect.
    Or put a $50K hemi in a car with a poor stance and be left with ****rel.
    Worth taking that extra time at the set-up stages.

    I did some side work for a guy here in town and we coppied the black sedan as far as the chop and the stance. His car gets a 409 and a five speed we should have it complete this spring. We had to put two polished blisters in the hood side to mak room for the headers we will see how the look when the car is complete.

    great work on the hood sides.

    as for the moaners, tell them to kiss off. be proud of the work you do, and the shop you work for. we all know that you can't build every car the way you would want to, you have to build it the way the customer wants you to. you are doing what ALOT of guys wish they could do. when someone blast what you do, do what i do, go and look at there profile page and see what they have. most of the time they have the biggest load of **** you have ever seen.

    when you get the chance to build what you want for yourself don't cut any corners, do your best. if you do, it will shut down the naysayers.

    good luck, and keep up the good work.

    I've NEVER seen a bad thread by Hot Rod Pro.

    I've NEVER seen a bad thread by Rex Rogers either.

    Some people around here seem to have "little man syndrome".

    (No offense Littleman... ;))

    Rex, the hood is a beautiful piece of work and I know time consuming. Keep the photos coming. I love your work and post.

    I like both cars. The black one is spot on. The red one is just for another taste. But I would take it in a minute and make it mine.

    The work is really first cl***. Keep it up bro.
