Thanks for checking it out.

 

Wow, that turned out great!! It looks killer!

 

how much was the chop

to me does not look much

 

Looking good! Is that a Volvo 142 in your driveway? How unusual are those in the states!

 

That chop looks awesome! Perfect!

 

nice

 

You're right, not much. 1 1/2 front - 2 1/4 rear

It is!!! That car has a hot little buick 231 and a t5..

 

perfect chop... I have one of these in the shop beggin for this treatment

 

That looks great, I was following your other thread waiting for an update. Great looking car.

 

Great proportions Brant, it looks lower and longer, without looking squished. Nice job!

 

Looks like an awesome job!

 

That was the goal! Take the ugly out.

 

looks good should of taken out a little more in the back

 

I love it!!!!!

 

Damn,its lookin killer!!Thanks for the update,been wonderin how it was going!!

 

Thanks guys.

Now it's filler time!

 

The word is "subtle"

 

Nice and suttle,Ilike it!

 

Nice chop. Just what it needed.

 

One I forgot to add..

 

I liked it better before,, is it to late to put it back???

 

Cool! I plan to chop my 46 sedan. I'll post the pics. I like what you have done.

 

Very nice.

I can't wait to see it in person!

 

are you staying at that ride height? or going any lower?

 

Funny...then you don't have to ride in it at Speedweek.

Me too. Bonneville here we come! Or maybe sooner...

I am going to drop the back some. I need to redo the notch in the frame and redo the shock mounts. I am not gonna bag it or make it a rocker scrapin' machine. I am looking to get a more late forties early fifties custom feel. I don't mind them higher with black walls.

 

Looks good...

 

Any updates?

Looks good. Is that your old truck before the clip and rear end swap in one of the picture backrounds?

 

Yes.
