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!

Oh, yes! I was standing on my 34 roadster. I don't have any pics as I lost a lot of my files. I do have a thread somewhere about it. I'll try and find...

I bought that book just for those pics when I had my 34 sedan. Never got around to chopping it though...

That sometime tends to happen. I can remember a lot of 32's and 34's that have come and gone that I said I was going to cut.

A lot of people say, if your not going to keep it, then don't cut it. Well nobody was beating my door down to get this sweet 34 from me.

I wasted so much time lately not working trying to put a deal together on a bar, that I said F it. I want to chop it, so I'm chopping it!

So it's like I'm working again anyway. Work feels good. I'm aslo going to throw some cool parts at this thing to make one killer car. I think anyway.

Its one way to clean the garage.

Car looks sick Chris, mighty proud of you! Can't wait to get to mine. Someday!

You know I have a thing for the Topless beauties but a coupe or sedan with a haircut or Whack job looks so bitchen!

Looking good Mel. I'll be watching.

Yes Bob! I took off from working for 6 months so I could fix my house. I have yet to get back on the roadster since. I only started to strip some paint, and I got the frame up on the table.
I also had a lot of bugs to work out on my 39 Indian. I luckily met this 4th generation Indian Family that have helped me tremendously. I had a mish mosh of parts in my trans.

I'm just happy to have the roadster, that I don't mind being patient with it.

Whiggity-whiggity-WHACK!

Looks badass Mel!

bonesy · 07-23-2012, 01:10 AM

Chop looks awesome Mel!

Dirtyest Devil · 07-24-2012, 07:21 AM

Moved her out this morning. Not back to the chop yet, just pushed her out for a garage clean and reorganize.

Wondering what you guys think.

Should I take another inch at least? Or go for 1 1/2 or 2?

I am building to sell. I'm not worried too much about someone not wanting it if it's too hard for some. Just wondering some opinions. Thanks!

**general gow** · 07-24-2012, 07:29 AM

i say 1 1/2.

Dirtyest Devil · 07-24-2012, 07:51 AM

That is what I'm thinking.

**general gow** · 07-24-2012, 07:57 AM

splitting the difference between badass and driveable...

**wagoon78** · 07-24-2012, 07:58 AM

looking good.

Thanks Pat.

When I chop yours I have a sweet plan. I've probably chopped 5 Model A sedans, but yours I'm going to try something different. Hope it works, hahahaa.

rustednutz · 07-24-2012, 08:12 AM

You, my friend, are a masterwhacker. Maybe just a little more off the top. Keep a whackin'.

Sixcarb · 07-24-2012, 08:24 AM

Hey Mel looking good......heres a pic to give you an idea where we cut the post to lay them back on one we did a while back.

**ss34coupe** · 07-24-2012, 09:32 AM
