    Been reading the thread from the start and can't stop looking at how awsome that chop is, it flows so smoothly!!
    Very impresive work!

    The flow on that chop is amazing. It really does look like it came from the factory like that. Awesome work!

    The car looks great and the chop is fantastic.
    Could you let us know what size tires you're running on the 49

    Love it! These old Buick fastbacks look great stock but even better with a little off the top.
     
  12. And here I thought you couldn't improve on those Buicks……Nice Job!

    I don't know how I missed this one. Wow! Fantastic work, but you're making me look bad, I've been working on my T'bird for YEARS, and you did this since August?! I gotta be more productive...

    Thanks.
    Been following your T Bird build thread and its looking good to. I actually started about a year ago but didn't want to start a thread then because then everybody would see how slow i really am. :) I would still be scratching my head on the chop if my mate Ola didnt help me..

    I don't know how you (and Ola) did that chop either. Rod & Custom did feature on chopping a Chevy sloper a few years ago, buy sinking the entire deck lid and drip trough further down in the body between the fenders. Sectioning the deck lid the way you did it, and having it turn out that nice, and flow the way it does, is stunning. Send him over here and help me with the 'bird, would ya?

    Cheers,

    Brian
