I have been working on my Mercury. I have a '50 that I was pretty close to being done with the body work and started to question if I should chop it a little. After a post on the HAMB and looking at pictures, decided to do a small chop. Here is a picture or two of how it is going. What do you think of the angle of the back window? I put it where I thought it would flow best but open to opinions. I lowered the front 2 inches and 2 1/2 in the back. Thanks. Neal
kinda hard to tell without the deck lid in place but i think you got it. looks good. do yourself a favor and set your rear window in place to make sure it fits correctly before you do your finish welding. i learned that the hard way. your car in general looks real nice.
Looks great. A subtle chop makes for way better vision. I chopped mine 4 1/2" Im 6 two so im slouching when I drive. GOOD JOB!!! ----FEDER
Hey Neal, I like the flow, but you may wanna relocate the rearlight up a few inches for visibility sake. On a chop,looks ain't everything! Swankey Devils C.C. "Meanwhile, back aboard The Tainted Pork"
Kinda funny. The wife wondered if we could see out it. I told her it did not matter if it looked good. Back to the "form over function". Good point, I will have sit in it and see. Now is the time to make the changes. Thanks. Neal
I think it looks pretty good. I would roll it outside so you can stand back a little and get a better picture. Keep us updated.
I didn't know you were building a Merc......looks good. I cut the back window out of mine 4 times before I was happy with it.
You'd know if you had one!!!!! Like this....I mean! When you gonna paint your car? Just kidding buddy,LOL! How you been?
