Hi- My name is Rich and I am new to the site. The reasion I am here is I want to try my hand at chopping my own car. I herd this site might be able to lelp me. I have never tried body work before but I have tried almost everything else. I built a 41 ford coupe hotrod back in 1985, then a 52 chevy business coupe in 2000. I did everything except the bodywork. I even baught myself an industrial sewing machine taught myself how to sew and upholstered the 52. I picked a 37 chevy coupe last year and I am about to start on this one. This one will have a big block, air ride etc. The first thing I need to do is learn how to chop the top,do bodywork,lead work,etc. I am going to retire in 10 months and everyday will be a saturday I hape. I am only 65 and I am planning to live to be 127 and a half. Now if there is any one out there than can show me where to make the best cuts to chop the 37 let me know. I have gathered a good bit of information so far but I need more before I will be comfortable. I am planning to go to metalmeets and school if needed for all that I will have to learn for this project.Rich (FROG_PONDS)
