    Thankfully I've been seeing some really well proportioned and skillfully done chops on the HAMB lately and less X-treme chopped tops that look like someone stepped on them.

    This is yet another fine example! Awesome roof profile and the hardtop treatment is very classy. Beautiful.

    Maybe you've seen this one before, but it's from Canada and got some Buster Litton inspiration too. Snapped this in Santa Maria. Really nice car too.

    No disrespect, just wanted to show how the same inspiration can still make two very different and beautiful cars!

    That is the nicest Chop on a Shoe Box anywhere, in my opinion. The proportions are dead on, Beautiful work!

    This a big traver from the first time i seen this shoebox in a tent in Ullared in 1987 together with the another two. They were 3 shoesboxes that have arived fron tennese to Sweden. I one of the other one under restoration. I will customeze mine too but not clone of Buster Litons. I hope mine will good as Andreas one.
    His car is maybe the nices in the world.
