Hot Rods Jerry 's 32 5 Window Project

Lol. I'm actually an elementary school music teacher. I'm on Christmas break so I am taking advantage of my time off and thrashing.

Your a great role model for us......and your students are very fortunate.

 

Way to go on the chop...you're right on. No sleeping for you!

 

If you don't get the chop right it will be DETENTION for a week for you mister!!

Great work Jerry. If you are interested in selling the pieces you cut out of your A posts please let me know. I think I could use them to fix my 50 year old botched chop.

 

Lookin awesome jerry! I can't believe how well the cowl hole/steering lined up, looks perfect!

So hard to believe that there's anyone out there who thinks these cars look better unchopped. I completely disagree, you made yours beautiful.

I like the Lincoln door opener idea, quite unique. Let's see those louvers!

I think Jerry went for a breather while contemplating the louver maneuver...

Jerry do you use cutting oil of some kind on that? I see very little to no burn from heat.

 

That's a good question.. when I first started experimenting with this style I used an air powered die grinder with a thin cut off wheel. I found that the electric one had a bit more muscle and cut the line fast and clean. At the same time its easier to really make a mistake. I do this usually at night when no one is around so I can concentrate without visitors. There is a little heat burn that still results but I hit the panel with a DA sander and some 80 grit and it cleans it up right away. I do the same thing to the back of the panel to knock down and remove the cut through burrs that result. I try to get the front side as clean as possible. It makes hand hammering the louvers easier and the bodywork easier in the end.

You do have a steady hand there...understood. Once your wheel hits the metal your committed...just like coloring don't go over the line...

 

I did the same for my hood
