Shoot me down in flames for suggesting it, and I realise it's a relative thing, but there seem to be a lot more chopped GM fastbacks around than chopped '40 Ford sedans!
Who has chopped a fastback? I did, 49 Buick Super 2 1/2 inches through the firewall and pie cut the trunk. I will lengthen the hood and have stock windshield gl*** with hidden wipers like a 70's car with a stainless band on the bottom of the windshields.
Brads Chevy is awesome! He did it while working at bill hines shop when working for Bill.. Bill was a big help on the car made sure it was right.. Brad has done five chopped chevy fastbacks that I know of and one Buick fastback.. He cuts them and acytiline weld them solid including interior moldings in six days for $5000. He can also cut the windshields and make the vent windows function properly for a little extra. I'll try to get a photo of one of the cars when I'm at his shop tomorrow.
Here is the golden pearl,1950 OLDS, 5in chop done over 25 yrs ago, by bob moyer out of kentucky. He told me he had more time in doing the deck lid than the roof. See you guys at ventura nationals. Foot
