Projects Enough monkeying around: let's build a 5w, or another 4dr bites the big one.

If you get out this way for a show, come visit my paint supply room...you should find something good

 

Looking good Andy! I dont know how you find the time to work on this car AND post progress on the hamb AND answer our question and compliments...do you have clones?

 

I am impressed......and humbled.

 

Dig'n it Andy!
Slick chop man..got that go fast look to it!

Tony

 

Me either, unless it only has three and deserves five!

 

thread ratings... meh... some people like hot rods, some like four-doors I guess.

I had to roll this thing out of the garage to clean it out, it was getting to be a bit of an obstacle course in there.

 

Slick.

 

Dude that is so sick...

 

The car speaks for itself, one look and your hooked. It is impressive!!!!!!!! More than anything I would like to commend you on your fabrication skills, motivation and extreme talent. Regards, Rhys.

 

Man I'm diggin it! Are those repop inner fenders? Whose are they are and how do they fit?

I can't wait to be rolling along with you at B-ville! Yep, me, you and JJ...oh wait...never mind he puss'd out

 

damn looks so fucking good, I been day dreaming on the side shot, hah, sure think id look good driving that.
iv been following since the start, but I cant remember what power your goanna run in it ?
my club buddy did his 32 tudor sedan, its ruff made from 6 or 7 different cars, he brushed it with oil base paint, looks very good.

 

CHris, yea I better get a move on! yep, they're repros, got them from Macs, the mounting holes need to be enlarged/oblonged a little bit but they do fit surprisingly well. The bead lines up nicely, looks like the holes line up to the grille.

Hoping to have the chop pretty much nailed down this weekend, then onto the door bottoms, filling the top, and building floorpans... not necessarily in that order.

 

Killer

 

Very impressive, another one on my list of hambers i could learn a lot from(with the talent here that list seems to grow almost daily).also saw no reason to leave this thread at 4 stars so heres #5. now go finish it.http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...yjournal.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

 

That chop was one of the most important things you've done.
Really you cut all the problems of the 4 door out of it!
I bet you get a boner seeing it in your driveway now!
TP

 

This is without a dought the best looking 4dr I have seen!!
Do you ever sleep? Nice job

 

Well its about time you chopped it!

Very nice transformation! This is true hot rod building in every form....great work dude.


Pete-

 

I just cant stay away from this thread...

 

From Chicken Shit to Chicken Salad. It looks fantastic with a chop. You have single-handedly given new hope to every four door out there.

 

Here's a quickie to see where you're heading and where we expect you by Sunday evening haha!

 

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! He can do it!

 

Whoah! Me neither!

 

I know, right? It's SO easy!

 

Andy... lookin good!
I was playing with it a little in photoshop...

slanted the roof forward a bit behind the body line around the rear window... then slid the whole rear section forward a few inches... taken out of the middle of the window and added to the deck panel above the trunk....

 

That really looks good Zach! I copied Kiwi Kev's method for this chop, he lines up the rear and moves th b-pillar forward. I kinda like the longer 1/4 window look. As far as the rear panel goes it'd in the stock location for a 5w, I just spent ages repairing that whole area. I'm actually planning on leaning the rear window area forward a tad, and flattening it a bit, leaving the driprails where they are... just a matter of cutting a few tacks at this point. What you've got there is bordering on a 5w with 3w roof proportion!

Here's one of Kev's for comparison...

 

it looks good... I was just wasting time on the computer really... haha

keep on keepin' on!

 

wow this is looking so great, i'm not sure how much i want to chop mine, i would like to leave the A pillar on the stock angle, thanks for your effort in posting your steps.

 

What he said. I love this thread.
