And, the ONLY pic I have of the car after chop. Unfortunately, she got REARENDED by some cell phone talkin on broad on the way home from work one day....
What's the word on the one Guildner is putting together? Seen it at the liqour store magazine rack a couple times sittin low with a nice chop. Cant wait to see more.
The read quarter windows on the last one looks pretty weird to me. The pic above that one is great, that car is sweet. I think they looks best hardtopped...
[ QUOTE ] Another one... he's a HAMB'r but I can't remember who... [/ QUOTE ] Whatever "it" is, this car has "it." Thanks for posting. Very inspirational. What amount would you fellas say they took out of the top on this one, front and back?
I'd say they took a little over "too much" out of the front and back of that one. The ass of that car looks like it's flapping out in the breeze with nothing tieing it into the rest of the car.
yeah, i think that problem with the trunk looking not quite right is usaly due to the car being a coupe when it was started
About a year or so ago someone posted their 49 on here. I downloaded the pictures, but I can't find the damn things now. It was a mild custom. Nosed and shaved, frenched head lights, stock grill/bumpers, mild chop (I'd say about 2 inches), slamed with wide whites and bullet caps. It was the coolest suede baby blue type color, but it had a real light hue to it. Sound familiar to anyone? I'll try and dig up the pictures. Anyway, I've got to know what color he laid down on that thing. If anyone knows what car I'm talking about, or knows the guy, or better yet, knows the color let me know.

I think part of what you might be seing w/ the long ass end is generated by the picture being shot from that angle? Could be wrong...but I like em' severe like that. I don't know how my 6'1 ass would fit in there, but I'd figure it out
My car is cut 4 inches at the windsheild. 1 more inch would be the limit but very hard to drive. The look is killer but not practical. I`m 5` 10" and find traffic lights a little hard sometimes. Keep the pics comin!! This is Boosters car mine is in the front corner

I'm 6'1 and would be screwed if you're 5'10 and are having trouble. Where there's a will there's a way, I suppose.
[ QUOTE ] here's a pic of one of my personal favorites...but the guy who owns it is weird... [/ QUOTE ] Hey ain`t that Dwight Yoakam??
Lowering the seat to the floors gains headroom for you tall guys. I notched the rear crossmember for future serious lowering. Also raising the drive shaft tunnel. Not allowing a bench seat to go much lower.
whos car is that last one that canibal posted??? the one with the unfished- or at least un painted- chop? i want to say he is on the hamb, wondered what the specs are on the chop. tia tim
That's my friend Bill in my club / also in the Detroit Draggins . I dont know the details on his chop otherthan he did it all himself . That picture is from my site . there are a few good shoeboxes on there spread out and around
