*** 1953 Chevrolet Chop..... I know, another one!!!***
Well i got my new garage all set up and to my surprise, I got my first referral!
I'm gonna do a few modifications to the car, chop, 4 link, 1/4's maybe, air ride in the rear. Casny came over on the first day to help me lift the top!! Thanx brother!! I took the rear wheels out so i could get better flow for the chop since were gonna lower the rear. The car has terrible stance right now for the direction were going for! 15's in the rear and 14's in the front.    Chris took a few pics!

I never get tired of seeing your latest top chop threads. And I learn something from each and every one of them that I can use. Thanks for sharing and you can bet this one will be marked for reference just like the rest you have done.

I like the '49 Ford rear glass the best. I mean if it was good enough for the HAMB member in Canada that painted it gold (you know the one) then it's alright in my book. Ian, Beautiful work man. Looking great and the garage looks like it's working out just fine. |

Alex, I'll be calling you soon! When I'm done with the chop I'm doing the link and I already told the guy about your parts! Done! The car has a mid 80's Monte Carlo frame.

Looks great Ian. I tried to make my way over to you at Santa Maria but you always had a mob around you. Looked like you were signing autographs or something. Car looks awesome. You've got mad skills!

Re: *** 1953 Chevrolet Chop..... I know, another one!!!***
With all that hard work, how do you keep your garage clean? I'm pretty innate about a clean garage and organization, but your chopping a car, so......you have a robot or something? (Hahaha!!!). Nice work and pics!!!!

You should have said hi anyways at SM!!! And i wasn't signing autographs...... Well maybe i did for this little girl who thought i was Travis Barker!!!  Just kidding!!! More to come ............. |
