The End

I still think you should have left the roof off and turned the trunk into a hot tub.

 

all i can say is WOW!!

 

thats endsville holmes

 

I really like that this is the model with the panoramic rear window...It will really help make this thing look a mile long, as if it needed any help. The revised fender skirt line will be a cool touch to mimic the front fender line...

 

Pre Chop





Post Chop Only 2.5 inch made a big difference!



Man Alex! that car looks good either way. Hard decision to chop but worth every hour spent, it looks sick! cant wait to see it finished.

 

great

 

Shit!!! That looks good! I have never seen any of these cars chopped before! Is there any other around?

 

Sure you have!!!!

John D'Agostino's...

Besides the one Rik has here there is a chopped 59 in LA

Yea, but J D's looks stupid with the massive sail panels. This one looks more proportional and custom. The wheel openings are much better also.

 

Agreed.

 

witch one???

 

I seen it once mighta been at mooneyes2 years ago weren't we talkin to the Hotrod havoc guys about it at your shop?
Dave Hitch

someones gotta have a pic if so post it

 

what do you think about the skirts welded on on johns?

 

Well your the guy who's gotta paint it! If if works for the paint and the wheel still comes out sure! I'm on it!

Been following this , Stellar work and vision ...
Less is more , to such great effect ...

 

Thanks Dave for allowing us to participated in the transformation of your car..it was truly an honor to be able to do just a little bit on a car that is a tribute to one of the pillars of the Kustom World with none other than another pillar Gene Winfield and of course Alex for providing the shop in which all of this took place. A few pics for your enjoyment!

Dave, Alex if you want a copy of all the pics I took during the weekend let me know and I will burn a disk for you.

 

this might be my all time favorite car when all is said and done!

 

Hell yes I want those pics! Those are amazing man !! Got more post em I love it! You are awesome with the camera, the class was awesome and having people get involved was the whole idea to me it makes the car that much more special! To those that missed it this was a no messing around chop guys were all over it the pics dont show it really but there was always several people workin on it at one time and alot got done! Thanks to all those guys that went without sleep to make the class and the chop an awesome event that I will always apreciate and never forget.

Simply amazing top notch work.
