tryin to empty what was left of the gas in my welding cylinder today so i could fill it before the weekend. welded some stuff he had tacked on the chassis then did the 2 1/2" chop on the rear window (the rest of the top was a 3 1/2" chop). i think the proportions turned out just right. and hell if they did'nt, so what. it's not my car! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

here it is tacked together out of the car...

[kustombuilder]

after removing a half inch from the top and bottom of the rear window opening (for an inch total) i tacked the window frame in place...

Let's see something more challenging....how about Donzies Chev chop?...how's it coming? The last pic of it was from the front....I was wondering about maybe pancaking it to loose some of the roof crown.

[kustombuilder]

now for the tell tale pic. you can see the proportions in relation to the rest of the windows...

don't you have a motor cycle to play with or something?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

i covered Donzie's chop a LOOOOOONG time ago. PAY ATTENTION! still lookin for a different back window section cause the stock window is just too damn BIG! a local hot rodder has a possible donor car for the back roof and window section. he just told me about it tonight and i will go look at it next week some time.

now back to the topic at hand...

the inside view...

[ABone312]

Kind of hard to tell in the pics, but it looks like good proportions. I like the back window being kept taller.

[kustombuilder]

yeah, it's hard to stand very far back in a two car garage full of 6 cars worth of shit! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif try this view fromt he front...

did the same on my model A tudor turned peekup, but i chopped it 5 3/4" and took 3 3/4" out of the back window for a 2" difference...

Mike, you keep this stuff and you are going to be Cole's hero. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jimbob]

Hope the air line fron that die grinder on the rear wheel's not hooked to the compresser, might end up with a sectioned A as well http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks good, like the proportions. Keep the pics coming.

[The37Kid]

This is my '29 that I did years ago. Removed the T shaped vertical seam trim and welded things for a smooth look.

[hiboy32]

That really looks good Mike, the proportions look right and size the of back window looks right. Nice Job!

[Tudor]

That looks killer - I'd also love to see some more pics of the tudor turned peekup please - now that's cool

Good lookin chop!! Are those Goodyear tires on the back of the sedan? If so what size are they and where did he get them.

Clark

They are old Denmans I picked up from an old hotrodder never been used. They are 7.50 x 17's.

I think they may actually be truck tires.

Levis...thanks. They have a tread pattern close to Goodyears. They are some cool tires!

as you wish.... search the archives for "FnA" for more pics and some techish type stuff from all the hackery(tm) on the body. unfortunately progress came to a screaching hault when i started chopping Donzie's 50 Chev and i have'nt been able to get back on it yet.

[hotrodladycrusr]

Looks great.... Hunnert Car PileUp here he comes!
