I started chopping a 49 cosmo

Here are some pics of a 1949 Lincoln cosmo that i am chopping. The chop will be 4 in the front and 4 1/4 in the back with the stock back glass laid down 12 digress

 

I like, I haven't seen to many of these, It'll be sweet

 

Looks kuul. For a bginr, plees xplain how U fit the winshield.

 

awesome....that looks******in. cant wait to see it finished.

 

I*****in love those cars!!!!! I just saw my first one in person about a month ago and I was like a kid when the Sears Christmas came in the mail.

 

Man, that thing just flows forever. Nice job!

 

Did you roll a new roof or just resize the original? thats going to look killer!

 

I was able to use the original. This is my first major chop and it has not been bad at all. I took a lot of input from people on the HAMB and just started cutting the hell out of it.

 

Wow, man that is awesome!!!!! I can't wait to see it completed.

 

looks great!!...whats really fun is the nonstop welding it back up for days. he shouldnt have a problem with the windshield.. now paying to have it cut down, that just*****s!!

looks complicated good luck,
i am currently choppping my 27 9 inchs

 

Looks totally awesome mate..
I'm chopping a '49 baby Lincoln coupe
Your looks more complicated..

.

 

Looks neat, the cosmopolitan has nice lines. Keep us posted on progress.

 

lookin good but hurry up and finish and i will drag my AD your way!!

 

Damn....Is that Speed Channels very own Ken Herring chopping that top and I thought he could only guess et's???? Ha, just kidding your way prettier than him Mr. Posey and your beard is better groomed too. Killer job on the old Lincoln, proving once again Big Oak Garage is the deep south's best hot rod shop...BAR NONE!!! Yall keep up the great work, I talk to ya soon.

 

Really nice looking chop......enhances the car's lines a lot in my opinion.......a Cosmo Coupe has to be a pretty rare model to come up with, no? Better than a Merc, I think!!

Nice work......please post more pics as you progress....I love it!

CB

 

I will post more pics in a couple of days when I get it finished up

 

beat me to it!! ole will here is a hell of a car builder, and all around good fart..er guy

 

Ive seen 4 of these*****ers chopped and they were all awesome.

 

I tried to find some pics of these cars that had been chopped before I started this one and I could not find any. If you have any pics I would like to see them.

 

What are you planning for the frontal area. Grille etc?
Be a shame to leave that stock.
I need ideas for mine so I'll wait and see what you do...

 

We don't know exactly what we are going to do on the front yet but I promise it will not be stock

 

Kartsa did one of these, but it began as a four door...

Pardon the paint, but I was always partial to the nose treatment on my buddy Hals old Lincoln.
The flames, lakers, and other***** was all added after he sold it...
This car is the FIRST kustom I ever got to take a ride in, i was a pesky high schooler then. Ive been hooked on Kustoms ever since...

 

Need to keep it Lincoln lookin' or it will just look like a Merc .. don't ya think?

 

talk about looooong and low - looks killer!!

 

I don't think the Cosmos will ever look like Mercs.

 

Nice Job ! I love that car. You don't see 2 doors that often.

 

Those pics and the work you've done are great, but missing one thing....a PBR striped up welding hood instead of that cheesy looking one. If it had one of those in there I think it would win like I dont know......a trophy or something!!!

 

this is my hood that gay one is my brother in laws. Just to let every body know loosewheels did the art work.
