TECH: 40 Mercury chop,1 man-1 roof-1 week

I was having trouble posting pics when I started this post and I neglected that question Ron....

what I did is-align the front posts at 5" cut...then I blocked the rear CpillarsUP 1-1/2" with a spacer till front posts are completeley welded....
Then pull the rear C pillars down[with rear roof] and - REMEMBER-FIRST-ALIGN DOORS-THEN WELD THE C pillars.

 

Well -I got the filler/Sanding-Primer ,operations done today and got the top completed...Its now loaded on the trailer and ready to go home.

Here are the last pics taken this afternoon......
I wish that it sat lower, so I could see its final resting place!
Please feel free to PHOTOSHOP IT LOWER -IF YOU CAN!

I hope I never left too much out in my hurry to post this.
Maybe this has helped some of you that are chopping a Merc of this year.

 

some more pics.....

 

Looks great, Thanks for posting. Bob

 

that looks real sweat, nice job.

 

The A Pillar and window swoop remind me a lot of that red Bob Sargis Nailhead powered truck rod from a few years ago. Good job Kenny!

 

Damn,that looks good..beautiful job..those Mercs look so lumpy and bad unchopped,and so good cut up...very nice

 

Well- I just had someone make my day!
I had just dropped out a tank full of bad gas from another Mercury here and was feelin kinda down/low,and the phone rings.......

It was Jimmy Lambert[Tulsa]-he is the owner of this car.
He called me ,just to tell me, how much he liked the top chop I'd done on his coupe!

You know, every once in a while it really does help to give [and even recieve] even the slightest compliment, for our work done, as custom car builders.....

 

Wow...
I bet you could chop an ice cream cone and make it fit

 

Ah, you've done it again. Truly the King of Chop, Sultan of Drop and undisputed Maestro of Metal. I add my humble praise and atta-boy. And you say you just started doing chops!

 

Great chop, here is the car lowered a bit, skirts added and some wide whites and Sombrero's on the front... not sure if it will go that way... but it sure looks good to me.

 

Cool!! thanks for the post it's great!!!
