[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The 1930 Essex is the best Green hot rod I've ever built... but I'm not done with the 1951 Chevy.
I chopped mine like that and didn't have any problems.... I had the doors on it and cut it all at once. Then I put the roof back on, then the top...
It seems like I'm getting an air breather collection and a steering wheel collection too.... I just can't decide which one..... so I change them...
The upside is...... Period correct hot rod! Period correct modifications.

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I realize this tread is a few yrs old now but. Here is my 1930 Essex coach. I built the frame, fully bagged, 4"...
I have the same problem.... but I think with fenders it looks more sinister. [ATTACH]
Now that I've built it..... I'm thinking that I want to build something else. I'm thinking of a chopped '53 two door belair ratty looking sled,...
I haven't been on this site for a while... some pictures of the car this summer before the drive shaft let go and came through the floor. [ATTACH]...

Awww Great, I'm just finishing up my first hot rod build. Now I get the feeling that I forgot something.... nobody to blame though. Good find......
I cleaned up the cut line at the roof line, along with changing some switches for the air suspension. Almost ready to fire it up.
Thanks for the good vibes on the fenders. and looking at that step trailer hitch thing... Isn't going to cut it, I will be building some sort of...
I had the same problem with no room under the car, so I cut an old air tank in half and mounted a small battery inside. As far as the fuel tank......
There are a couple of things that I want to do still... like clean up the fiberglass along where I cut the roof. Maybe blow a bit of colour here...
Funny thing is.... This car probably won't get painted.... But I am a licensed body man and painter. I do this all day long every day.... so to...
