help, looking for a chopped 57 chev 4 door hardtop

if you have ANY pictures it would be greatly appreciated. my friend is chopping one for a customer and needs reference pictures.

thanks again




*turns out its a post, so i need pictures of a 4 door post that is chopped.

 

Someone had one they chopped around Syracuse NY about.. 5 years ago maybe? It was finished enough to drive, but not done when I saw it. Was at a couple shows and I never saw it again. In fact I think I saw it at the old CNY Street Rod Club show, maybe someone in that club would know where it went or have photos.

They cut 5 or 6 inches out of it, the little quarter windows in the back were filled in, and the top had a vinyl padding done over it as I recall, right down over the quarter window holes - probably easier than metalfinishing for paint. Back window was plexi, front may have been also.

Seems to me it was painted a gold or copper color with a black top.

 

56 olds all right?
