Haha no thanks partner, I never believe in going big unless it looks good. IMO it never does , I'm taking close to 3" up front and about 4" in the rear . Keeping the rear window on the belt line .
Want to see the chop.I did 3"s front to rear and wish I had done 4 in the rear but I ain't cutting it again. Looking forward to to seeing what it will look like.
Yea it's hard to re chop a car , I might chop n tack it while the chassis is of but idk , still debating
Sorry about not updating ... There's alot more progress going on ill post more pics as soon as its getting closer to bring done

Thanks fellas. Gonna be a while before any more big progress is made. Building that chassis took a lot of time n money for me , gotta recuperate till I can invest more into my precious 😎 Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
So things have been going slowly on this thing, swapping the motor to a newer 350/700r4 combo. Bought a 52 buick cruiser. And then this ... If you guys recall this thing was a bare metal beauty but like my never ending issue of not having a place to work on it , it's sat outside for the last2 years(body only) hope to throw the chassis under it and re sand and prime the body so it's not getting worse ....
