Customs ***My first Shoebox chop for my first customer...Thanx Omar for trusting me!!***

Wow that is going to be a long wait but just think it will be like an early Christmas present!! Are you driving out to pick it up?

 

Getting shipped back!! Can you imagine driving it back and wrecking it??

 

thats how i roll homie!

 

Welp, there was never a doubt with me, but I just gotta say, you are the friggin mang, mang. Great thought process on doing the door tops, Im going to use that idea.

 

Right on man!! Im glad i can help, that's what it's all about man!!

Ian

 

2ND one.......Not as many cuts, Not as many mistakes= Half the time to do the 2nd door top.

The reason for the larger gap by the door is Omar had somebody fix the door problem with a porta-power and the gap ended up a little too big. I followed the gap as is and the bodyman will fix it with maybe a rod? or filler?? It really isn't that bad IMO!!

 

that is awsome !!!! how long you been doin this ? wow !!

 

Well....That's my second chop...I wish my first one would have come out as clean as this one since my first one is my own car, but it is what it is!!

 

Looks good man and it's nice to have good friends.That was a hook up on the drill press.

 

Thanx! Omar was cool to hook me up with that!!

 

very cool on the drillpress,,,,,,
are you gonna round the corner on the door top?
very impressive work,,,,,i enjoy the detailed pics!

 

I was gonna round them but Omar wants them like this now. Maybe later after he gets the other stuff done, floors , patch panels, etc.... Im not doing the latter. Got another chop coming on monday!! 51 Chevy Coupe, mild chop.

 

Hey Ian, I just realized that all these pics you're takin' and showing us could be printed on nice glossy paper for Omar, and to stay with the car for all time!....Maybe you've done that already. Rick

 

Good call!! I've been doing that with the chevy, still updating as i go! Its cool stuff to share at car shows and such!

 

damn!! great fucken work man! can't wait to see what you do next!

 

very nice work.

 

Still awsome bro

 

Great work
The lines are spot on, keep it up

 

Right on dude!! Can't wait either!

Thanx man!!

Thanx brotha, I might go visit again!! My wife and i are talking about it!!

Thank you so much!! Im happy on the lines for sure. It's my first time cutting somebody else's car and i have to say i was pretty nervous but i didn't want Omar to know......Now you know bro!!

 

Ian I know what you are saying about being nervous. That 49 cosmo was my first major chop for a customer

 

Yep!! Pics of the 49'? Would love to see it, it think i did but i wanna make sure!!

You're fleetline is real nice man!!

Ian

 

I'm almost done.... 2 pieces left, windshield garnish and driver side. I took a few pics of the car with the front sheet metal on, I'm pretty stoked!!

 

Heck yah man, you should, you guys would have a blast!

 

so where do you get the glass from after you chop it? do you make a template and just take it to a glass guy to cut out?

 

i still cant believe this is my car????? 6 or 7 long years of doing nothing and its one step closer to being done!!!! thanks sooo f--ken much Ian!
im sooo stoked!!!!! i still have a long way to go, but now im so much more motivated to get this done! floor next and then body work! Ian will work on this car again! thanks again homie!!!!!!!! i will keep posting!

 

The rear glass is stock, the front glass is flat so pretty much any glass shop can do that, and the side glass is the same, just a little trimming. Templates are a must.

 

the profile kicks ass with all the sheetmetal back on

 

Yep!!

That's why i had to post the pics... I was very excited!!

 

Good!! You're welcome bro!! We'll do more good stuff once al the other stuff is done!!

 

Damn that came out nice.
Way better than tons of strips and pie cuts.
You're neighbors must love the grinding!
