anyone chopped a hearse

dons t, that orange Caddy is a local car.

On searching the web for he**** sites I ran across another car that was built in Enid, always wandered what became of it. Use to run a blown sbc.

 

Well its not chopped, but this was a nicely done car in the UK a few years back...

Here's a pic of my '77...Anyone care to have some photochop fun??

 

Doesn't look right..Countries in Europe always built funky he****s..Didn't sink the bed like US ones..

 

A Mopar from Germany...

(Small pics, sorry)

 

I found this one. Pretty sure it is chopped.

 

Yup,that's a chop alright..

 

Yup.that's a chop alright...

not really chopped... but the he**** from "harold & maude" has to be one of the coolest ever built

 

After its chopped, how do you get the casket in???

 

If you want some input,there's a few tips I could give you on that build,certain things people don't lnow about he****s..Also,you guys never responded to a letter I sent you a while back about a possible trade..

 

Depends on how low the chop is...Most he****s have about a foot to a foot and a half of clearance between the top of the casket and the roof,so depends on how radical your chop is..

 

chop it.

 

Actually the casket would need a section. Then only someone like Paris Hilton could fit in the box.

 

That sounds like a good plan.

 

A casket sits in the back with the casket lid closed...You could do a 6 to 8 inch chop and it would still fit..

 

This just appeared on German Epay. Says its a Canadian built Ford that was used on the island of Malta.

There's a whole page of pice here from Wintersun 2005, (It's on again right now!) and a bit over halfway down the page on the right hand side is a chopped 50's he****.

I've got a '71 Superior I have been driving around now and then for a couple of years. Contemplated chopping it when I first got it.

Since I've been driving it a little more lately, the guys in my club are trying to talk me into it now. One of them does it for a living, and in his 30 or so years of doing it, hasn't done a he**** yet, and is really interested in giving me a hand with it.

The whole idea is to do this car as a kustom in a 50's or 60's flavor, so chopping it would be the icing on the cake. The biggest obstacle is the commercial gl*** that is unique to he****s/ambulances, especially the 60's and 70's models. Cutting gl*** until you get one that doesn't break may be prohibitive. The cost is the least of the problem, finding gl*** is the biggest headache. Unless one was to be creative, think out of the box,(no pun intended) and find other solutions.

I basically have it down to only 2 problems to solve. Number one is the windshield, which I think I have a couple of ideas, just have to research them. And number 2 is the front door windows so that it doesn't look like some hokey attempt to make a vent gl*** or something.

about 12 years ago there was a monte in lowrider mag that they choped did it all them selves couldnt cut gl*** so they put in a split windshiel made of plexi gl*** going flat and split might be an idea
