  16. Is there a thread that shows where the cuts were for the chop? That's a great job! I've chopped one, and I know how hard they are to do.

    That is a beautiful profile. The aerials are an unmistakable Hines trademark. Congratulations! Keep us posted.

    Beautiful car! Those straight B pillars look perfect, they really fit the profile of the car.

    Dane:

    Saw the article and really liked the method that Bill Hines used on your car. Unfortunately, the Weesner article was not very detailed. I would REALLY like to do the same to my '50 Fleetline. Did you or anyone else take any additional pictures of the chop in progress showing what was done to the A and B pillars? Also would like to see something showing the work done to the window frames once the top was lowered. Any additional photos that you could post showing the chop in progress would be much APPRECIATED!!

    Your car looks great!

    Tom
