Chopped, Widened, Lengthened, and Lowered 52 Chevy *Lots of pics*

That, my friend, is vindication of a very real sort.

 

Keep doing your thing brother. Everyone on here has an opinion and we all know what thats worth. It's yours and you can drive it. Way to go.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see your next project.

 

This thread needs more than 5 stars!!

 

..not a fan of the car,but its more than i can ever do...props.

 

for the amount of money u got in it i think its great good job....

 

That, my friend is a custom car, I like it...........................

 

well, live it up kid and drive it down to the steel...very interesting...kinda frankenstin meets beyond the thunderdome stuff

 

Widened, now that's going to turn a lot of heads!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the car covered in one color, even just the primer. I think that'll be the true test of how the proportions turned out. Very cool job on your ride by the way, you won't have anyone saying, "I had one of those"! Keep on keepin' on.

 

1) I don't like Chevies, no how, never.
2) metal work does look rough compared to some.
3) never been too impressed by customs, not even done by so-called "greats".
4) I think you've done awsome, I like it, like that you had the nerve to do it.
5) congradulations, if some don't like it they can build their own.

 

im surprised i havent seen it in any magazines yet ( low brow, rockabilly, rat rod or otherwise). how often you getting out and driving it?

 

hey SOUTHPARK...holly crapers what a job, man i've never seen a 4 door chopped. much less all the other work. you have a very unique car. i don't consider any project in progress RATTY. far from it! man your doing fine, i say keep on keeping on. your body alone meets our standards. in my view. i'am proud to have you here...POP.

 

heres a teaser pic of one of my current projects in the shop. it will have its own thread soon just been to busy to start one.

53 chevy 2 door, sitting on s10 frame, custom gas tank made and reloacted in truck to use the stock gas tank door hinge, channelled 8 inches, 5 inch chop, slanted pillars, front end lenghened 10 inches, custom grill and front end.

 

over 3500 miles in the last 6 monthes!

the photo shoot pics on the last page with the girl were actually for a magazine but they havent told me when anything will be published.

 

thanks for all the postive comments!! it will be getting painted in december.. the roof at the very least.

 

Wow, I hate it and I love it. To me the proportions look funny, but I think that's what I like about it. Hard to say. What sold me on it is the pic next to the stocker. It looks like frankenstien!! Very cool regardless of others opinions. I think had you tried to seek advice on here before the build, you would have been set on fire by the haters, so better to build first then show!! Good job and with more builds come more skills. Keep on truckin!!

 

Nice

 

man, screw the nay-sayers. That thing is badass. A bodymans worst nightmare, but badass!

Once the roof gets evened out, and everything gets a coat of paint, it'll be tits. Just remember what my ol man said...

"Bondo comes in 5 gallon drums for a reason"

 

The new one is just as silly.

 

Cool car, but it looks a little narrow

 

Love it man!!! The Dudes that have nothing good to say are usually the ones that couldn't burn, cut, or weld one piece of metal and probably paid someone to build their Rod.

 

the funnny thing is i know your giving me shit....

but i take this as a compliment ! haha

 

Hey Southpark....your car killed Kenny!!! Just kiddin man..My eyes are hurtin tryin to read all the damb posts, so i am cheetin and just gonna ask without reading every post....Will you finish this one to glossy paint or is it gonna be a flat finish? When do you plan on having it in color? Is the car on your avatar this car? Keep on cuttin, bangin, weldin, and makin most of the wannabees here sick!! Not everyone can do the work you are doin...and not everybody wants to do the work you are doin!! Whatever it is....keep it goin!!

 

wow, the fact he wasnt chased off this website blows my mind..... a lot must have changed here. poor 52 chevy.... and hes ruining another one too! AHHH

 

Ruining another one?

From what i see, he took a car destined to be made a toaster, and made a running, driving car that makes him happy.

If thats your opinion of ruining a car, then everyone on this board has ruined cars.

What else would you do with a rustbucket more door? Restore it?

For fucks sake.

 

i bought it off a guy who was planning on selling it for scrap metal. pretty much think that if nobody in the world wants it, then i can do whatever the fuck i want to it.


and my 53 that i have " ruined " sat on ebay for over a month before i bought it because the frame was so rusty it wouldnt roll up on a trailer.

plus their MY cars...

 

It's big, kinda ugly, strange.
I like it.
Especially can't wait to see your next one. I'm sure you learned a lot on this build that you will be able to transfer into the next.
Hell, like you said, its YOUR car. As long as you dig it, nothing else really matters (as long as it's safe to be on the road)

Keep chopin, grindin, weldin, buildin, and learning!

 

Southpark, don't pay any attention to the whiners! Taking an old unwanted car that is either unpopular due to #of doors, drab style or damage from a wreck and making something out of it is a feat in itself! The fact that you are driving this creation makes it even better! These negative comments posted here need to be taken as just what they are, whining from people who can't see beyond what you've created. I'm sure that if you work at improving your skills, and continue to take on projects of this calliber, you can't help but learn!
I only wish I could lend you a hand, and help speed that process to a successful conclusion.
Good luck on your continuing progress!
