Who wants to see the Fleetline MarkX chopped?

fuck man, thats fuckin bad ass!

I wasnt planning on chopping mine, but now I gotta!!!!

FUCK!

 

the car will be displayed at the "GasMonkey" both at the San Francisco AutoRama next week ........ check it out ... ( i wont be able to make it ... more chops to do!)

 

Why the hellzitgoin way out to San Fran??? Is he trying to peddle it? Shouldn't take long to sell it there. Aside from the GAWDY interior options I hear about, I'd like to see the car finished.

You still up for Waco? It's 4 Fridays from tomorrow.

Going to leave as is for now get some miles on it.

gmonkey

....wow!!! they do do work at that shop!!!

 

Man, that's a nice job on that top!

 

Right on, Dont ever remember seeing one done that way before.I wish it was mine.

 

Nice job on the chop, looks awesome! I like it with the skirts, but like it better without the skirts.

 

Great job! I LOVE to see chopped Fleets. Man those things are hard a hell to get right, but man, you hit that nail on the head. Again, great job!

 

awesome car...i just wanted to try something...hardtopped, shaved taillights, filled gas door, hahaha cleaned floor for ya

 

My favorite part is the fenders, they look like fins but
they don't have any height added. The rolled pan to the
bumper filler piece is a piece of art.

Bass did some nice artwork on it too.

I must admit I requested him to put the skirt on, but it
doesn't fit with the skinny whites.

Could MFS-3 be coming to Dallas???

 

man that thing just looks 'right'.

no skirts.

and leave the paint as it is..

very nice job.

 

So how much was it chopped??

 

holy shit marky! I thought all you did was fix hail damage and fender benders

I agree, Fleetline chops rarely looks as "right" as that one does. Excellent work my friend.

 

When is going to get painted? I mean for real?

 

awesome work MarkX

 

stats on the car .......... 5 inches from the front and 4 inches from the rear. The decklid and the roof were sunk as one piece, with the bodyline kept in place. new inner rear fenders created and a new rear pan. and the 1/4 glass was also shortened 3 inches

 

Damn. So much talent for a guy who rides through fire.

Mark looks like your shop got bigger since I saw you last too.

Glad you moved forward with your personal plans like we were talking about.

Have to get some more cookies sent in from Denise for another gathering.

I want to see more pics of that coupe too! Less Byron of couse.

 

Here's a picture of the pinstriped dash:



And top of the fender:

I have obviously missed something during my absence from the HAMB, but seeing you in that car and doing a little backreading makes it all make sense.
I think that this clearly is a "Yes" to the question that Mr.Rodney King asked.
"Can't we all just get along?"

Mark, the car looks KICK ASS ! ! ! !

 

check this Interior

 

and a pic of the windshield

 

Mark your busting ass this week. Where did you get all the fur?

Its hard to tell from the pictures, but the stripes on the dash actually look old and faded. when I saw them I had no idea Bass had striped them hours before. I thought it was an old custom they found that Mark was working on.

I was waiting to here a story on when it was striped back in 1958.

 

Holy crap thats a nice car. Great job chopping it-that must have been a tough one. Good luck!

That is so nice, I love the top and the rear quarters, it flows really good.

That is really bad ass. Really bad ass. Leave the skirts off.

Mad skillz Mark....Mad skillz!!!

 

thanks Reggie

 

That is the best looking chop on a fleetline I have ever seen. I had always thought they look better unchopped but this one changed my mind. WOW.
