    Oh man, that's a real shame because there are some photos on here of a chop that Bob Bleed did on a car that looks almost supernaturally like yours that came out absolutely bitchen.;)

    From the photo, the height of the door window opening looks just a tad too big in relation to the roof and body. I say "chop it" just enough to make it look less boulbous.

    Could you please post a photo of the car showing the side profile.

    well, I'd bet ya a dollar that it belongs to the fella that started this thread.... ;~)

    The owners name is Billy Powell out of Houston, TX and the builder that's been handling the chop is Bob Bleed out of the Austin Speed Shop in Austin, TX.

    Unmolested cars are getting harder and harder to find. When we were kids we butchered them up to make them look different and what was the norm. Different now is to have one like they were back then. I looked for 4 years for an unmolested 49 or 50 Mercury and finally found one. I just lowered the car and it makes it appear to be chopped. If you put a torch to that car you will never forgive yourself. Go find something already buggered up!
