Best Deuce 5W chop ever?

Quoting from http://www.roadsters.com/deuce/



Doyle Gammel, one of the early members of the L.A. Roadsters, built his dark brown, full-fendered three-window back in the Sixties while he worked for Ed Roth. The top was chopped three inches in the back and three and a half in the front. The car sat lower than its contemporaries, with its polished Torq-Thrusts, Moon tank, dropped headlight bar and smaller headlights adding to its aggressive look.

Doyle sold the car many years ago, but ended up missing it so much he's building another just like it, right down to the Rochester-injected 283.

This classic coupe made its debut in the December 1963 issue of Rod & Custom, and has appeared there many times since, including the April, 1993 issue, which shows it after being bought and updated by Tom Schiffilea with purple paint and a strong L-88 rat motor.

I agree. At the other end of the range, George Poteet's 5 is really neat.

 

Kinda partial to this one 'cause you all know I like 'em heavily hammered.

 

hey tony throw a pic of your coupe on . it looks a little like two lanes if i remember rite.

 

Here is mine. One of these days it will hopefully be on the road.

 

It may not be historical, but it sure is BAD ASS looking

"Best" is always difficult for me. But the Gammel car did get a lot of guys off there ass and into hotrods!

 

Well kinda like it..but mine's a glass 'tree' window. I had Americans and blackwalls on it a while back too..
