TIMMY P's first chop...help

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by TIMMY P, Jan 13, 2010.

  1. I know people are going to bash me on this but I could use a little advice. I started turning my 4 door 51 chevy into a two door and chopping the top. I laid the back window down but did not move it forward. I put a piece in the gap just to see what it would look like and I dont know if the sail panel looks right or not. Give me your opinion and advice on what to do to fix it.

    I like it. Your additional photos (on your profile page) will be of benefit to anyone that wants to turn their mordoor into a two door. Keep it up.

    It looks great!! I guess that you installed "2 door" doors and moved back the pillar?
     
  20. Yes I picked up the doors last year. I just cut out the pillar and moved it back, using part of the back door to fill the gap

    Looks good to me- without moving the rear window forward a bit it starts to look a little stretched... but it still flows nice! I like how mild the whole car is.
     
  26. Looks good to me. Roll it outside and get a good side shot. That will help determine the overall flow. I dig the headlights too.

    Lookin' good, can't even tell it was a four door. If your headlights are pot metal they are 54 Buick, the 53 Buick headlight rims were stainless and slightly smaller than the 54's.
