    Can't say I think the chop has enhanced that car.

    Another chopped four door. This time and Oldsmobile... but they share the same body panels and windows.

    This one photographed by Paul Kelly at Paso several years ago.

    And here is a chopped four door with window frames.
    Personally I think this one is a little over-chopped and could use a little dechopping especially on the front so it will compensate for the factory low in the front look.

    From the net....

    Is that two-tone rust rikster??? I'm not much of fan so far, definitely not a car where choppings necessary. Put your work and money into other parts...

    Hey,

    I think that the '55 2Dr. could really be a looker, but this is a case
    where the paint job would really have to work overtime to carry
    off the look! Tribal, or seaweed flames, or a tight " Watson treat-
    ment " would work. If just panel painted in a solid colour, people
    would say "why'd they bother?''
    All cool and different, but a **** load of work!

    S****ey Devils C.C.
