    Ive seen a couple with 6 to 6-1/2" chops and I think it looks cool. Any more than that and Its probably too much. Nice work.

    Have any progress pics of the chop?
     

  5. Any more and you'll need a periscope!!! Looks killer though, very sinister. Is that a stock rear window layed down, or from a donor car?

    Rad!

    If that is felt pen on the 1/4 panel sand it all off or it will continue to bleed thru the paint forever, no matter how many coats you put on.

    thats a sweet lookin chop, i love the fade away on the chrome, looks great, thumbs up man
     
  14. Looking real good. You might want to consider sectioning the trunk lid, 'cause those chopped coupes always look like a little to bulbous back there...

    that center console is cool...how did you get such good bends?? cut side panels and bend to fit??? I think extending the fenders a few inches looks cooler and kinda gives the same effect of sectioning trunk.

    Don't mean to be facetious or callous...but I hope the body is better done than in your first photo in the thread, if you are rolling it in to a paint booth...to paint!!!
