alright alright alright so I was having a little fun with the photoshop, but here's the real deal, chopped 7 inches, started 4 and then just kept going down and down and down. Found some bedrails to brace it with. Waiting to get a new roof, for a section, aligned the pillars a little, don't like it too much like that. Top is just sittin on, been raining like heck, gets me depressed, specially having a garage too small to work in, but I'll get back to it sooner or later, enjoy.
Thats what i like to see..real progress not photoshop stuff I'm looking forward to seeing all the tin work finished up on it..i think it's going to have a real sinister look to it. I like 58's..
I dunno... I still see some tell tale lines... Looks cool, like I said in the other post. It will look sinister when done.
Cmon rat, there's something very fishy about the pillar....... looking forward to see the progression...
Looking good. Glad you stopped teasing us with the photochop pics Good thing you saved it from the methhead! Looking forward to more pics and seein how that windshield works out.
Hey ratface, you're on fire with that chop..... I loved the hell outa that photoshop deal, kinda reminded me of watchin Zagrewter footage. Wat ya been quoted to cut that windshield?
I have no clue what my windshield will cost me, if it was just flat, I'd attempt it myself as I've heard of several ways, but since it's got that wicked curve I dunno. My windshield that came with the truck was so cracked it fell apart when I took it out and I had a replacement that somehow mysteriously got broken, hmmmm.... so when the time comes I'll let you know, anybody got any suggestions?
try scott up at blue collar customs, he has a guy that is pretty good with cutting windshields...he is on the hamb, some where...
Been watching your progress cuz we have a 59 that we almost chopped a few years back. what changed our minds was a similar truck in a magazine, believe it was Classic Truck where this guy had an "expert" cut down his windsheild and it took something like 12 attempts to get it. These are brand new windsheilds mind you, and at a buck fifty or so it adds up. Going to look for that article later. Don't want to bum you out, your're at the point of no return now. You just might inspire us to break out the saws all if you whip that windsheild thang. Good luck man.
I have a 57 and considered doing a chop. I backed off when I looked at that glass.... Sumpin. makes me think that you've bit off a bit more than is chewable unless you've done previous such work..... I certainly wish you well, but I'm a skeptic... All the hard stuff is yet to do. Keep us posted as you progress..
I drove by and had a look...wow..you my friend have got some serious work ahead of you! Probably gonna have to run a lexan windshield or step up and have a custom glass made. You need to have Moochie come get a look and see what can be done to get this thing on the road again!
