Art & Inspiration ----HOTDAMN'S Chopped '54 Pictorial----

well obviously I would help.... I have an uncle that lives in charlotte. Next time I visit, I would love to see this thing in person!!!!

 

yea I thought about some of those but in LEE lenses. I split my tail lights, well I actually just added a extra bulb in the reverse light hole and it looks rad with those LEE bubble lenses.

 

I think the dark green would be cool.

 

bro you're welcome any time you come down to come by the shop and hang out.

we have open shop night every wed and I am there generally 4 or 5 days a week anyways

pm me when you are going to come down and we'll go do some burn outs

 

tater i say leave the tailights, they are perfect and i told you this weekend i think you should paint the car a light color. You see how good the light blue shows off the gorgeous curves. Dark colors are for cars with poor design in my eyes ;-)

 

Easy Jack!

Holy Shit !!!!! your car look's bad ass dude congrats I know your stoked

 

That thing turned out great Delton!

 

Car looks bitchin'. Really like the chop and the stance. Do you know how far from the ground the body of the car is? Right now mine right behind the front fender is 9 inches from the ground to bottom of body and the back is 8.75" in back . I think it needs to be lower and think yours is great. So that could tell me how much lower I need to go. Thanks.

I think I measured it at around 7" a while back but I cant remember for certain, I will check it out tonight for you. I can tell you that I used a set of posies dropped springs, I think they are 3" and a set of 3" blocks with firestone 6.70's to get the back there.

The front is a fatmans ultralow MII with 2" dropped spindles and 1 coil cut out.

also anything over 4" you should really c-notch the rear.

its funny they car actually sits level but the chop makes it look ass down.

I wouldn't mind going 1" lower in the rear but that would require raising my wheel wells and frankly I currently have other things that are more pressing

like getting my hood adjusted and moulding in my grill surround!

 

thanks guys

 

hey tater i was doing some thinking here is 3 colors for you

bambolino blue (36 ford early year color only)
diamond green (62-63 VW beetle color)
bamboo green (63 vw beetle)
