    How much was it chopped......?
     
  4. Not sure how much they whacked it, cleverly done. Appears that they just took off with the factory added on. Without touching the front windshield.

    It probably took longer to move for that mile long beast to the back of the shop than it took to chop it. They did a great job.

  9. From their jackets I'm guessing Germany, I knew they are efficient, but damn.
     
  10. My American/German friend, noticed they were all wearing German army clothes.???
    Glad everyone enjoyed this as much as me.
    Coincidentally,...some of the local Orlando Holigans got together this weekend, and wacked the roof on Chad Strops '50 Chevy. Turned out real nice.

    Yep. I assumed they were German too, since that was the German flag on the shoulder of their fatigue jackets.

    Love it. That dang dent in the drivers front fender sticks out like a sore thumb as smooth as the rest of it is.

  19. Very nice chop, especially the way the windshield was left and just took some of the added height out of the roof.
