I love sectioned cars! Am planning on wedge sectioning my 54 when I get back on it. Looks great. Can't wait to see it put all back together.

 

Ok so here is some in order of the sectioning of the right side

that looks great
ive been wanting to section my 53 ever since i got it. maybe some day i will get to and if i get to this thread will definately be used as a how to. maybe some day i will stop putting it off.
very cool thread.

 

That looks well planned out. Good luck with stitching it back together.

 

I use the sand blast method on laminated glass.

Here's a good write-up on cutting glass:

I use sandblasting resist from suppliers for folks who make gravestones, rather than any type of tape and/or paper. Resist is designed specifically for this purpose. Well, with stone, instead of glass, anyway.

 

Very kool Jerry. Keep us posted with the progress. That is a heck of a Christmas gift....

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Any updates?

 

How's the progress?

Can you post some better pictures of the trunk area. I am looking at your for a Ref for my 53 4-door I have figured out most of it untill i get to the back of the car mainly the trunk section.

 

just found this thread . any updates?

 

Has anyone tried this with a '53/'54 Chevy: Sectioning the rest of the body about 3" but leaving the rear fenders stock height to give it more of a tailfinned look, and maybe cut down the doors a little to give it some of the lines of a '53 Skylark (without the Skylark's heaviness)?

 

thats a big slice!!!

 

X2 I´ll be interested to see how it turns out.
In any case you´re way braver than I am.
