Thats nice also. My personal tastes lean toward any darker, luxurious shade to emphasize the "classiness" the old customizers wished to convey with their cars. I do think the lines on customs such as yours can carry almost any colour successfully.. I just prefer the darks better myself. -Dave
I would be on the hunt for a 47 Oldsmobile Grille...Personal Opinion, they look really good in a car like this...
Thank's but I'm not sure what is the running gear If is it that ? I don't know for the moment But if I can do it ,I would like to do it
The running gear is the suspension...I however saw on another thread you had posted the complete lowering process for the rear leaf springs as well as the front springs. I have a 46 business coupe that I'm going to start building. It is at the beginning stage. Thanks for all your informing posts an pics. Devan Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Check out the thread a tale of three chops and the revival of the 41 to 48 fords there is tons of pictures of chopped coupes and can give ideas on how to finish your car
Yes I've spent a lot of time on that thread. Not many bis coupes to gage by. They must be harder to chop. I'd think the concept would be the same as a long door? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
The 'Running Gear' includes the engine, gear box and differential. I have to say, that is a beautiful chop you have done. Its so hard to get that body shape to look so damn good with a chop! Doc.
Thank's sorry my English is not very good Yes very verry good post I'm looking at for a long time there 's some very good idea and I was inspired by it to make my chop Thank but there is a lot of work to finish it
Great work! Thanks for the pics I wish I saw them before I chopped mine, but we have both done the same cuts, I took 4" at the B pillar. I have some pics in my profile gallery if you want to have a look but you don't seem to need help now. It looks great. What tail lights will you run?
Could you please post some pics when you chop your inner window frames. I have done 1 of my rear frames if you want to see a pic but I think it could be easier?
Thank's for your comment Very nice chop on your 46 I took 5"1/2 at my B pillar I am going to keep(guard) the fires of orrigine
I sanded the back part before redoing the missing part in new sheet steel I would want to know if this part exists quite ready to working one Bob Drake or other one Thank's
