What did you get done... or why cut up a perfectly good car?

Because there was a Merc in the garage that needed a chop real bad.
The victim.

 

The first cut's the hardest.

 

Roadapple spots for Eddie(Mr. Clean). Eddie says no to safety equipment (believe me I tried!) 'cept the cigarette butt ear protection.

 

Selena attacks the 'A' pillars.

 

"Try new TOP-BE-GONE"! Leaves you with that "fresh-air" feeling.

 

YES! The easy part over, the hard part begins. Putting her back together.

 

The view from inside. Look Ma' no vision.

 

What you're left with. Big thanx to all who cut, scraped knuckles and gave moral support. Nothing gets done without family and friends. Will update as she comes along or cry when I need help. -stick

 

rad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rule will it go to paso ???????? call me dude if you need help.............l

 

Hell Yes It's going to Paso! And you better be going with us. I'll call ya' tomorrow. I'm wiped. -Eddie
P.S. So now you a big star? Or what? Love the DVD. The outtake is hilarious.

 

Its a little too late, but you're just over the hill, pm me if ya need an extra body to hold shit up or to comeover just to scrape my knuckles or sumthin in the future...

My qualifications are two tours of duty of Hambchop, although I was only officially a beer-disposer...

That goes for anybody nearby, I'm gonna be busy with my own shit, but I have thursdays and fridays off, if someones in a bind and needs a hand I can make a little time, always glad to help out!

(never know when someones got cool parts they want hauled away!)

Later,
J

 

Hey Burnup, I read your tale of woe. Cut her phone line, then she can't call the cops. I try not to go to Burbank too often since I got a ticket for blue dots a couple of years ago. I'd be stoked if you wanna' help. How much you asking for your Caddy? P.M. me with your #. -stick

 

<font color="purple"> Is it just me, or do most all cars come from the factory looking like they actually NEED a chop? </font>

 

HEY! I was really digging this post and then felt cheated that there is no great 3/4 or side shot to show the new profile.

 

I see you kept the pices just in case you want to put it back to stock one day.

 

Couldn't get profile shots yet. Not enough room in the garage. Will roll out this weekend. Stay tuned. I'm dying to see it too. -stick
P.S. I'm putting the left over parts on Ebay for the restorers.

 

Haring. Don't feel jipped. This is as close to a 3/4 as I could get without rolling the car out. Like Stick said, he'll keep you updated. And I am glad I could be a part of it. There is nothing like cutting to roof off a perfectly good car...especially when it isn't mine.

 

WTF. I swear I can post a pic...honest!

 

If ya have trouble lining them "B" pilars up, I put a come-along between the door jambs. Sucked it up, welded and it relaxed nice!............OLDBEET

 

jesus eddie, how many art directors does it take to chop a car ????? hahahah.......i still gotta get over ther to see the garage now that you have one ..................

 

awesome. I love somebody not scared to do a little hacking. Keep us posted on the progress.

Introducing: Carmen 'the wonder dog' Sparks and noise can't touch her she loves hanging out in the shop. Cool garage floor I guess. It's 100+ in California.

 

How long you think it'll be before we see "The last known unchopped Merc." at Barrett Jackson with a 1/2 mill opening bid?
