custom 46-48 chebbies....

anyone got, Theres a couple I can get for $500 that aren't supposed to be in real bad shape, I have yet to go look at them so I odn't know if it's the fastback or what. I've been looking for pictures of some custom ones. Ever since I chopped the shoebox I've been wanting to do a more radical chop and I didn't know if these were something I could do that with. I saw one in the classifieds, but the chop on it was pretty tame, and I suck at photoshop so i couldn't get anything out of that. I have a couple of pics of some if anyone wants to try photo-chopping.

 

Well heres our 46 Aerocoupe (fastback)

 

I was looking at those before, and hoping what i found wasn't that. I couldn't really tell a way to chop one of those wiithout having to put alot of work in reshaping the trunk area. Maybe someone will correct me though.

 

Ours has been chopped=4" ,Sectioned=2", and channeled=alot more than that.

 

the one in the pic above is chopped 4"? if that's right, I want to do something lower than that, i knew th ecar can be chopped, i just wonder how much without things getting to be hell.

 

Im sorry i was wrong Dad said it was chopped more like 2 inches and sectioned 4..Im sorry.......JAMIE

I have this article a freind scanned and sent me. Let me know if you want I will send it to. I also have the 46/48 Chevy coupe chop from Tex Smith's book scanned, I can send it to also if you want.

Here is mine

 

A couple of my favs are Cleatus' car(look in the tech-o-matic section for pix and the chop on it).
And this one from Sweden it is very cool. I plan to use some of these ideas on mine.

Yeah Cleatus' car is BAD ASS!

 

I checked out the cleatus post, and the car was badass, but it's got a few years on these, and I don't dig the hartop thing too much with these cars. I'm looking for some pics of one that's been severely chopped, so i can tell if it looks good or bad, or what's too much or not enough. I just can' decide if I want to pick the cars up or not.

 

This is my all-time favorite of these cars, kinda helps that a real good friend built it and now another friend owns it. I'm sure most of you have seen this one, tho. Fuckin perfect.

ya know how much that one is chopped? that looks pretty damn good, but it looks like you could go somewhat lower without fucking the car up.

 

Ok, What the hell am I doing wrong?

 

i just pasted the links and wen tto the pages. I just wanted to know how much they hacked off.

 

Geocities won't let you link the pix unless you pay for the space.

Here is one from Carnut

What's wrong with the hard top look?

 

You could go in another direction...gasser?

 

How about a vert?

 

Not to hi-jack the post, but why not post some 49-50's as well?

 

some of those are chopped more to what I'm talkin' about. Got word on another car today though, so I got some decision making to do i guess.
