    It just goes to show that there are good things to be said about ocd and the love of exactness. Your developing very well, don't let the compliments put pressure on you, you already know how to think it through, its the same for the compliments too. Your attention to detail and not settling for ok will bring you a reputation that you will be known for and you can be proud of that for sure. When you get that tinning process down, expand your horizons and complete your skill set. Oh and good work, my file is standing erect.

    That's a really nice chop and stance. I've got a 51 2 door sedan and was thinking of a chop. Have you ever seen a chop on those body styles? Most chops I've seen are 2 door coupes or fleetlines.

    Thanks!

    I'm pretty stoked!!! Big Eddie dropped off his 51' Mercury at my house so i can finish it and make it pretty!!!:)

    It's gonna look like a different car when i'm done!! For now im gonna redo the door top corners , A pillars , Round some stuff , Garnish moldings, Wing windows, etc.... After im done im hoping that he'll wanna redo the whole back
    window area!!:)

    This car as an amazing profile IMO, It just needs to be finished right!!:)

    Here's the way it is now!

    Amazing work on the chop. It turned out just right. I have a 52 that I want to chop, you made it look easy. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours.
