this sure isn't very hard and looks like two different cars. I still have to dress the cuts and tack it back together but God, they sure look cool fast!
Someone buy this because it's for sale.

I will put more info in the classified section next week when I finish the top (not tomorrow), I need a beer right now
the car is in O.C. California
It has some love bumps on the drivers side door and roof but it has verry little rust and a super nice floor and seat riser.

4 1/2 inch whack job. God bless those little cars.
I'd buy it if it had a stock height, unmolested, roof.
Just wondering why you're fuckin' with it if you want to sell it?
You just 86'd all the potential buyers who don't want their's chopped.

I agree with Dr J on this one.. if you were serious about selling it you should have left it unchopped but it is yours to do what you want with..

you guys are looking at it all wrong... there are only so many left to chop. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
DrJ, I will buy the beer and we'll meet at the Long Beach swap on the 30th. I doubt I'm going home with it.
i'd want one unchopped... I really like the unchopped, channeled and fenderless look.

Looks great low-n-loud!
Helping a friend on one right now. Channel and a chop goes a long way in my opinion. Looks like a pretty darn straight car. You just dont find that kinda stuff in Texas, unless it's on the road.

Looks pretty cool. Jdubbya has a '28 sedan chopped 4 inches, channeled 3. still lots of room and he's 6'5" tall! I keep tellin' the wife the next car is gonna get a haircut. She's a hairdresser so maybe she can help.

If unchopped coupes are that popular, the pieces you cut out may be worth more than the body. I'll give ya 10 grand for the scrap. I just sent you an email about it.

for all the buyers who want it unchopped there are at least the same number buyers who would buy it because it is allready shopped and they don;t have to do or worse yet pay someone to do it. think about it.

it still has some bumps and lumps on the drivers side but the metal work will be done next week. It is overall a pretty nice little car.
Around 2500 bucks or so. I'le post it when I'm done. I've got other stuff I want to build.

I think that a guy could feel pretty good about his project at that price.
Instead of that beer, can I have the pieces you cut out of the windshield posts?
I have a sedan cowl that got it's posts completely amputated and I need some pieces to put back on it.
