Sectioned/Chopped 49 Business Coupe Build

Purchased the car about 3 years ago as a going car, but didnt like the colour so decided to change


as i bought it.
Then we did a few body repairs and changed the colour to satin silver.






during the build.


then the colour

 

Then I made the mistake of going to Motorex (Australia's Premier indoor show) with my brother in-law (pinup65) and the Eldorado's. In the group of approx 30 people we had 3 49-50 Chopped Coupes. During the 16 hour drive to Sydney and the remaining 3 days the conversation between myself and brother in-law centrered around my business coupe and what we could do to be different to all the others. The idea of sectioning was tossed around, after arriving home and speaking with Mark at Car Guys Garage, thats when the build took on a totally different direction. The car is now well on the way to a Full Kustom.




We started with a 2 and 3/4 inch section of the body



Then we lowered the rear wheel arches 4 and 3/4 inches and reprofiled them at the same time.

 

I will continue posting build pics later

 

I have been waiting for this to pop up since seeing it on facebook/shoebox page.

Cant wait for the updates.
Very clean choice for cuts.

 

Very Kool

 

The section work and taillights look great! I'm excited to see what the car looks like with the chop completed! Keep up the good work!

Nice job. I really like the dropped well arches. any thought to getting the tire off?
I have a hard enough time with my stock wheel openings, it would be impossible if I lowered them, without removal of the shock and maybe spring.

I love the look
Godspeed

Looking forward to updates as they come.

Love to see a subtly sectioned car - and shoeboxes really need it.

 

thanks for all the comments heres another update, decided to change the tailights, found a car with tailights we thought might work and went with them-54 Plymouth.

 

These are killer cars when sectioned. Looks terrific . For my taste easy on the chop BUT then you are building it for you not me! Keep us posted!

 

Nice to see another car sectioned, lots of work though!

 

That is a lot of nice work.
