Customs My 1952 Chevy

1952 chevy chopped top 3" in front 4" in the rear.

 

Many guys would say not to chop the top of a coupe. Drop it first and take a look. You might agree!

How do you like the pink camo?

 

Not too keen on the smooth dash... but ill wait till youre finished...

Ill keep watching to see where youre going with this.

Are there any cars already built that kind of display what youre going after?

 

Tread lightly, Grasshopper, you're entering modern Hotrodsville.....people here will start snubbing you! (ie. NO digital guages in the dash!)

My first car was a '52 Chevy so I have a soft spot

 

Hey chopped or not coupes rock bro personally I'm running mine unchopped but a while back Ian berky chopped a coupe and it was killer there was a really good thread on it look up Munsters 51 and it should come up

 

I want the dash to look similar to Pete wittenberg's 1958 chevy apache in ol skool rodz May 2011.

 

so, I went ahead last night and cut the top and work today putting things back together. I chopped the front 3 inches and the back 4 inches, I extended the catwalk about an inch. Check out the pictures.

 

Nice work!!

 

Nice work, lookin real good

 

Cool work man

 

nice.... looks like this isn't your first chop

 

geesh...some people make it look so easy! Great work!

 

Nice work!

 

This is my first chop, thank you for the encouragement, also I have to give thanks to the hamb and its members for their posts and I cannot forget Steven and Paul for their help.

 

Nice job

 

I have ground welds all day saturday and sunday, started plugging up the trim holes for the door trim and quarter panel trim today. should have those pretty well ground down today.
I was going to cant the door post's but have decide to leave them vertical, that means I am going to have to get some door parts. found a couple of cars here for sale from $400.00 to $800.00 with lots of good parts.

 

Great job man! I'll be following this one.

 

Sweeeeeet!

 

Looking good!

 

She said "I'm going to cut you off", and I told her "But you don't know where I am getting it from"! HAAAAAA

 

That car looks bitchin, nice work. Can't wait to see more as time goes on.

 

I have the top just about finished, one more door to finish up and I will start on the rest of the body work. I decided to go with some 8" coilover shocks in the rear. I am shaving the chrome off the car totally so if some one needs it for a traditional restoration let me know.

 

car looks great have much love for 49-52 coupes

 

Looking great!

 

Just about finished up with the drivers side door post and door, I still have a bit of welding to finish. all the trim holes are welded up now should have it smoothed up by the weekend and we will spray some primer and start wet sanding.

 

looking good...i got my 52 before summer. All i've done is put the stock air cleaner back on.lol. Keep up the good work.

 

looks great! i love coupes!

 

Thats car is gonna be cool.

 

Very Nice!!
