    I have wanted a Shoebox since I got rid of my '50 back in '95, and have kinda gotten over them as the years passed.
    That flame was just re-ignited!

    No Garish mods, just super clean.........Perfect!

    I haven't gotten slammed for chopping a coupe yet!? I know lots of coupe lovers say not to chop them, except me I guess. I really do appreciate all the great compliments and I got a lot of inspiration here on the HAMB from some great builders.

    Your chop is done right ! Most people that chop a coupe chop it way too much. Yours is just right. How much did you take out ? Thats the reason I got a coupe because I like them the way they are. If I wanted to chop a Car it would be a sedan, but yours is changing my mind. Once again BadAss Shoebox !!!

    Acme Speed, the trophy is very nice what a great design. Hey do good jr. I chopped it 3 and 4 and went with the straight b pillar. I prefer a modest chop on a shoebox coupe. Thanks everyone. Ronald

    Beautiful car, it was one of my favorites at the show as well. The chop just makes the car. I'm not big on chopped coupes, but yours is done so tastefully.
