Here's my first photo of the chop in progress.And I'm getting the gas cap on the side quarter panel filled.
Hey m.ralph your car looks awesome chopped. I like them so much better that way. Can't wait to see more pics.
Hey man, I own several 32's. One in Rodder's Journal, One in Rod Action Magazine, A 32 roadster, my friend drove from Cali in '56, a 32 3W that I bought 41 years ago from the famous Dave Rehor, my 32 5W I bought in 1976 still drive with mechanical brakes. Take it from an old ford guy, you can't improve on Henry's work. Don't chop it! When you get my age, you will regret it. That car of yours is better than a savings account. The Ardun car in the classifieds is mine. Love your car. Big Jim
Oh Man I WISH that was mine. Hell I wish I had more pictures of it myself. However I snagged that picture off this thread.
Hi Baron, they took 5 inches in front 4.75 in the rear. I visited the shop today to check it out. They are doing very good work on her. I took some more photos, that I will post tomorrow. I really like it.
yes Bigbangtheory, I thought about that before the chop. I usually install bench seats from a mini van.
Hi Bigbangtheory, I really haven't decided yet on the paint color yet. I like the dark burgundy coupe that Hotdoggin DaddyO was showing.
I got a couple of more photos to post. I forgot to mention Chris from Empire Garage in Victoria, Tx is doing this chop on my coupe. Anyone interested in any work on your hot rods give him a call at 361 212-0167
My 3 inch chopped Kilborn body, opening windshield , cowl vent and UPAC gutters. Plan on using a stock firewall to finish the illusion. Not trying to fool anybody but have to make myself happy with the end result .
Thanks for your interest. I might get a thread started over the holidays. I'll add the latest pics to this entry. Merry Christmas!
