Chopped 60`s Cadillacs

Does anybody know of any 63-64 Cadillac that have been chopped??

 

there was a thread on here last year on chopping a 60, but 63-64's I don't know.

 

why???

that would be so difficult to get right, but oh so easy to fuck it up. the lines of 60's Cadillacs are just right the way they are. if you really have an itch to mess with the roof find a 61 roof and swap it.

 

Here is mine not even close to done me and my buddy started it years ago and now im trying to get back to it im tryin to round up bags and get the caddy 500 hooked up

 

Theres a black with a red metal flaked roof, chopped on flicker. I'll see if i can fin it again.

 

I would like to see one with a more subtle chop but this one is still cool

 

I searched with no luck so I played around with photo chop to see what I could come up with.Now this is a ruff Photo chop but you get the idea. I find the 63 caddy roof line to be tall and the back window looks to be too far forward.So I figure i would move the back window back and lay it down and and lay down the front part of the rear post as well. This could be about a 4 inch chop. Here is a before and after pic of a car I found on the net.So what do you think of the idea for the chop??

 

stop. . put the sawzall down. step away from the car.

 

sawzall is down....Zip blade is not!!

 

I don't know, that photo shop looks pretty damned good!

 

Why does it look like there is a luggage rack spot on the hood?

 

I've got a 63 Limo.. Thinking on Chopping the top off and making a ConvertibleXL

 

that red roof car is how mine is supposed to turn out if i would have seen that earlier i would have had way more motivation that car is awesome

 

Flat roof chops never look good in my opinion; better left alone.

 

They look like they may benefit from a pie cut chop??? Maybe its the angle of the pic but maybe a little more out of the front then the back.

 

To me, that red roof car looks terrible. It looks like it was chopped for the sake of chopping, rather than improvement.

fitzee, if you have the skills to pull off the chop just the way it looks in that PS, I think it would be a great improvement, without looking squashed like the red roof caddy.

 

The roof line of these cars is already low. Chopping makes no design sense, it detracts. Just my 2 pennies.

 

I dont like 63 or 64s choped,but i am doing one wright now for myself,a little bit of work to make it look like it came of the factory that way,i only did it 2 1/2, ill try and post some pics soon

 

Oz would love to see them pics. What did you do with the windshield posts.They look to be straight up and down but I know there not.How did you work this part?

 

the post was the easyest,i just cut the 2 1/2 out drop the top down and forward to aline up the post and that was it,to easy

 

So they are straight!! cool. I was thinking on moving the rear window back 3 or 4 inch and laying it down.I find the back of these cars look longer then the front. Also this will make the rear post bigger at the base.Tried to go to your site but can`t find it and ozkustom.com does work,Well not for me anyway!!

 

Oh and chopping the front post at 2 1/2 inch's how much did the roof come forward??

 

i think i only realy cut the a post 2" and the rear was 21/2,my web site is being up dated back up next week----thanks Oz

 

cant wait to see the cad all done Oz, your all ready on of my biggest insperations and know your doing the same year cad as mine, what more could i ask for, oh wait i know trade me lol

 

thanks man.if i can help you out any,just hit me up and ill get back to ya soon as i can ,good luck on your cant wait to see it done------Oz

 

Thats what it was.. A roof section from an old wagon or blaser or sumthin!

 

Thanks, i'l probably be taking you up on that.
