Bullet Bird Chop

when i get a second ill look at my pics and send you some,it will be early next week,,,,,Oz

 

thanks my friend

 

Thanks Oz..your the best. The pics will be a huge help in planning my chop.

 

i cut it,ivdone almost 300 tops and never sunk a windshield before,looks like it works,however i do sink the rear glass on alot of the chops,like my t-bird,john d's 57 and 57 olds my 55 cad and so on,,,,,,Oz

 

I think the Italia (red one) could be pulled of with a Galaxie roof, I really like the way it lightens the look of the car. Of course you loose the Bird look to an extent.

 

im me your email address so i have it

 

Oz...thanks again for all the info & help. The T-bird I am going to be chopping will be going to my son..we are working on a tight budget but I want to do everything right on this car. The engine, tranny, & rear end are already rebuilt..I just have to finish the suspension & the rest of the body work..Some of the body work i have already completed. My sone loves the lines on the T-bird that you chopped & said he would be happy if we could get his to look half as smooth as yours.

 

No sir, thank you. It was a great pleasure seeing the 1940 Mercury at KKOA last year.

 

I remember a "How To" on chopping a bullet bird in Custom Rodder (I think it was).
I don't remember what issue and don't have my stash anymore. Maybe someone else can track it down for you.
If it wasn't CR it was Rod and Custom. Hows that for a definite maybe?

 

Not done yet, but I am getting there!

 

That is lookin wicked cool, bub! Maybe one day mine will get this treatment.

 

A 63-65 Rivvy rear window might be the ticket.
