    Slow going, picked up some 51 quarters for it. Been trying to thin out the heard and make a couple bucks to move sometime in the near future..

    Where are you moving to? Seems as though you have enough talent to move anywhere you want and still make it work. I`m interested to see how those Merc`s turn out with the chop method you use. I have always resisted moving the top forward on those cars. When I worked for Donn Lowe for all those years, I learnt from him how to do it a little differently, but the amount you can cut is less than your method, by the look of it.....Nice work, Matt...

    No clue on the move yet, just out of California. Not to far.. This chop was different than most I do, it's on the heavier side and the rear window was left closer to the trunk so I had to soften the crown to get the flow correct. 1/4 windows have been stretched to thin out the C pillar also

    Some very nice metalwork done here. Also, the 51 in the first post sits real nice, any suspension details on that one?

  20. Looks great! That's a pretty heavy chop but the top has a great flow to it.
