Yes!!! Her car is awesome.
Chopped 4", windshield layed back and the rear window
tilted forward ever so slightly.
Looks amazing!
There is an interview with her in HotRod DeLuxe #2

, but went
*** EDIT *** I just blew up the pic and those rear tires look like the new 18" Indy tires from Coker...yes?

Larry, those are 18's in the rear. Tires can from Vern Hammond. Picked them up at Lars one year. My buddy Roy was already dragging some things home, like my old T, and a early Caddy V8. So I was lucky enough to buy them cheap, and already had shipping locked down.

Verne said he liked the look but wound up sideways one day in the rain.

I have the old wire fronts from my 32 on the 34 now just for rollers. I have a bad front wire which I've yet to exchange for my 32. The 34 came with a nice set of 16's. So I robbed the 16's of this sedan so I could run the roadster around. 32 looks cool with the 16's on ittoo.

The 18's were meant to go on my belly tank project which is years from completion now with a 2 year old. Maybe he'll get to do 200 mph someday. Me, Im stuck at 137.

YES YES YES!!! Looking sick!

I had a tough time finding a chop I liked. There was a light blue one that these guys posted, and then dissappeared. I had saved a pic, but computer crashed and I couldn't find it here. It was a real faded light blue with a heavy chop.

I'm taking one more inch out, if not happy... I'm going for another!

i agree, i searched and searched for a long time for heavy chopped ones, and that one had a mean look!

I'm really making an effort to get rid of stuff. I need to make a band room for my son. He loves drums and I have a ton of vintage equitment.

2. I can never work in there comfortably.

3. I also may move into my garage so I can hide better from my old lady. She is never happy. I'm exctatic!

4. I was renctly trying to open another music venue/bar. I wasted a lot of funds and time trying to get it off the ground. Hence needing to sell things. I have some goddies too.

Also the reason for the whack on the 34. I have meant to build it and sell for two years now. I was busy raising boy. Now it's on!!! Bar is on hold while I search for the right space.

Ahhh, you found it! That is the one I like. Been looking for two days for it, finally just said fuck it. I know what I want.

Even asked that Hamb expert Jeffery James to seek it out, no luck.

Here is a pic of her car.
Kind of a artsy shot, in motion, slightly blurred.

Yo Wingnutz!!! What are you asking cuz?

Sedan came out of Detroit. Lots of nice parts. I had to put the front half of an original floor in. Actually my pal did it, not me. I have a buddy I'm parters on this sedan with. He did floor. I did a small quarter patch with no bodywork. I also had another friend media blast it, and I primed her up about two years ago. Car is nice. Almost hated cutting it. Na... I loved it!

Ive seen the car in person a few times. Love it.

It hasn't recently been re-chopped has it? I do miss a lot on here.

I'm come and go in spurts around here, usually after whacking something. Hehehe

Gotta run all...

I'll post pics after I cut a little more out.

[curbspeed]

I LIKE IT. No Fear. Looks like your well on your way. You gonna add to the roof or cut it across the cowl and lay back the whole windsheild area like I did on mine?

[Flowmeister]

I'm pretty sure they only whacked it once.

Maybe a little TOO much whacking? Get her a bob, that'll shut 'er up for a while...

Usually anything from the Midwest is gone from the door handles down!

Now you had mentioned taking the pictures from a Roadster... would this Roadster happen to be a 34 as well? If so... can I see some photo's of it?

Cheers my Jersey brother!

Leaning the posts, relieving the cowl. Probably pull top of the A pillar a little forward too. I don't like when the front window gets that flat spot. I like a tear drop front window opening. Which gets harder the more you chop out!

I also like when the rear window is tear droppish as well. If you wedge chop them leaning forward, the back window seems to lose its natural shape and tends to get a very even window opening. Like a 30 sedan with an even amount of inches taken out. You get a square window.
I've kept the amount of inches removed the same all the way around to keep the same window opening. In the back anyway. Front will change drasticly.

I love the natural taper on the the 34 sedan. Makes the car. I also think they look more helmet like too when keeping the roof roundish and not giving the A pillar a straight lean.

Ahhh, too much talk. I'm just going to try and make it look good. I said try! Hahaha
