Leo's car was chopped by Cutino (spellings prob wrong). Leo sold the car and has another custom in the works.

I remember when the car first showed up in primer. I thought the chop was better than average also. That car is chopped more in the back than the front. Not an even chop. If I run into Leo again I'll get some more info.

53 210, I'd say that brown one has been clipped. A little too wide? Camaro? Raised the wheel pits a little also. Maybe lancers with bullits on 6.70 x 15. Just a guess, never seen the car. Has a really good look to it tho...OLDBEET

i was thinking the same thing on the clip, definatly camaro. looks good. that looks like a swap meet pic. any idea how much?

[chip]

that pic was taken at the un-finished nats in graham, wa. a couple of years ago, it is an old looking job, there was not a for sale sign on it, but it was there for display, i thought it was pretty old school, i don't remember it being clipped, & those were g-78 15"'s if i remember, but i was more intrested in the way they chopped it, & the scoops on the rear wheel wells i would guess by the workmanship, it was done in the late 60's, but we should ask marshal, he seems to know every old custom junker out in that area....chip.......btw, mike, thanks i would like pics, or a phone number so i can steal ideas.....
