Customs Another shoebox goes under the knife

Yeah and if somebodys had some experience around the best chops in the country,its Mudslinger. I too think the proportions on this car are superb. It looks far from stock and better than 90 percent of the shoebox chops done by anyone under 60. You can walk all around it and and the roof never looks like it collapsed on itself. The heights are perfect.

 

Your kidding right? Two more inches and the perportions would have been all screwed up. You probably like those chops that the car looks stepped on don't you? Here are some before and after shots to refresh your memory. I'm not sure but it looks chopped to me.

 

A beautiful and well done chop indeed! Got to agree with what someone else said that their are far to many boxes that looks squashed and smashed.
I'm eagerly awaiting the outdoor photo update on this one

Keep it going!

 

dud nobody is taking anything away from you. and what i like is what i like. i like your car for sure. just dont get all but hurt about it. you do killer work for sure it looks alot different from stock to chop. dont trip potato chip

 

LOOKS CHOPPED TO ME TOO!!
I like that it's not radical, it's just enough.

 

Great job what do you think it took in hrs to get it this far Danny.

 

I think it looks very nice. You have done a good job. When you are ready to do another one let me know...

 

Dead on chop!

 

Not real sure. It has been almost a month of nights and weekends.

 

Thanks. I'll be ready for the next one when this one is done. Always ready for another project.

 

Thanks for posting all of the pics. One day job, HA! Like the TV shows that rebuild a whole car in one hour. You should be proud of the work that you did. Bet owner is thrilled. Post pics of the next chop, or other stuff, that you do.

 

Just wanted to chime in and say the chop looks great! I too like mild chopped fords.

 

i wouldn't call this a "mild chop" i would call it a "spot on chop"...not too much not too little, but just right!! nice job and way to go

Man I can't get over the perportions, you've done such a great a job on this chop. Can't wait to see more pics. Thanks again for posting your work.

 

Thanks guys for all the kind words. I can't believe all the great feedback this is getting. I spent alot of time looking at the roof and thinking of the best way to do it before the first cuts were even made.

 

Well other than bodywork, it's done. Here are some pictures of the seams and the final welding. It should not take much filler.





The inside

 

Here are the long awaited profile shots. It looks much better on the ground than on the skates rolling around the garage.

 

Looks so good back on the ground. Great work!

I "borrowed" a few of your suggestions as we started mine yesterday. Still have a lot of work ahead. Your pictures made it look like a breeze. I can tell everyone from experience that you've put a lot of hours in that chop. Thanks for the inspiration and suggestions.

 

Well good luck. Just take your time and plan before cutting. Looking good so far.

Perfect chop!

 

It looks great outside of the shop. I have to say it again, you did a very good job.

 

Thanks guys. My mind has been going crazy trying to figure out what project to do next. I think it will be to fix the taillights. Then on to a grill, then on and on and on....

 

Beautiful quarter windows! I might have gone a tiny bit lower, but thats just my taste. Nice work!

 

Looks nice , I get sick of seeing over chopped cars. This one looks right frome every angle, I like it alot.

 

I really like the profile pics of it great proportions good work.

 

Thanks. So do I. This is nice and mild, but still has a killer look.

 

Jeez your looking like a Sam Barris type...
This one should be easy for me to sell.

 

Great work.

 

great chop,,,,,,looks excellent....................
