Chop tops finally done.

[fatbody]

Went and picked up my 49 from Frank Palmer this week end. I had him chop it, and we ended up shaving it out and peaking the hood also. Next up is a little altitute adjustment. Then it will go off to the body shop.

[BoneBox1950]

Sweet ass chop. That's about where I want mine, keep the wing windows, mellow chop but maybe slant the B-Pillars forward. Are you going to keep the split windshield or butt them together?

[fatbody]

Im going to keep it split

[kustumizer]

The Shitbox rules! BAD MOFUSS . Swazzie

[Retroline]

Very nice profile on the roof,it all seems to flow nice without being chopped just to have a low roof.

[Barz51]

I agree the car's lines flow right now, I always thought the shoebox fords looked too short (length wise) with the tall roof lines. That chop really lengthened it out and made it look right.


BTW what color(s) do you have in mind?

[haring]

Looks great! What's next?

[Antibilly]

looks good my man

[Byron Crump]

Looks super cool...good stuff...
