Lookin so fine!

 

thanks for the sweetness guys! you know Mr Harvard I said the same thing one time... just do a ton of planning and asking questions and get to it

I know this thread hasnt exactly been super step by step detailed so feel free to pm me if you have any questions about this stuff?

and yea being at shady side is the plan, Im gonna go fuck up a windshield today, this out to be fun

 

thanks Flattrap, that means a lot coming from a guy that has built one of the baddest 53/54 that has ever rolled down the road!

 

looking good...

 

How did it go with the windshield?

 

nice

 

HotDamn! You nailed that chop, for sure!

 

Hard Core Man - Looks Tough

 

I did 7 hours worth of welding and grinding today, jaroma and myself are gonna get ballsy and cut glass tuesday, I figured it may not hurt to do a little more research first... Well that coupled with it will be tomorrow before I have the window rubbers and I want that window in that sum bitch as soon as it gets cut!!!!!!

 

its funny, the chop is so subtle when I look at it the car it doesnt even look chopped to me but when I look at pics of it pre chopped it looks like a bubble!

 

Looks good nice job!

 

Lookin good! I think you hit the chop perfectly.

 

Super nice job man! That thing FLOWS!! Slickness.....

 

Man I am saving this thread for when I chop mine, flow is perfect!

 

good job guys! especially for a first time chop.

Was there ever a thought to cut the front glass first, and then chop to fit, since you weren't taking much out?

Was there any thought given to reusing the original rear glass by moving the whole rear section of glass/channel forward till the contour of the glass matched up with the contour of the roof?

I am considering these two issues for chopping my '53 BelAir.

what changes to the suspension have you done?

oh yeah, and keep the 235...

 

Perfect chop for that car. It looks great!

 

Yep nicely understated. Looks good. Hope you have it out this weekend.
