Technical Original 32 5 window chop .

Tom, Super nice work and a ton of patience. I have to ask you how you are backing up the weld seams across the cowl while planishing . I'm trying to imagine myself reaching under the dash with a dolly and then being able to see what I'm doing when planishing the weld topside. I'm just curious , I'm not that agile anymore. Bill

 

I may have the last unchopped 5W left. Styles change and this one is kind of permanent. I remember tweed, pastel, M/T's sticking out, flames, jacked up, centerlines, wide fronts. All gone. It is also kind of like a poser. Looks racy but not a race car. I remember 671's with a carb inside. Same thing.
I admire the talent. It is incredible. It is just not anything I would own.

 

Hammer and dolly nothing fancy . You pop through the windshield while kneeling in the car

Wow,I need to get POSER for my license plate on my chopped to hell wanna be race car of a model a. Thanks

 

That makes my knees hurt just thinking about it. It sucks to grow old. Great work, Bill

 

Chopped or un-chopped...who gives a fuck.
Do what you want with your own car, this isn't communist China.
For fucks sake...

 

I am 67 and I think I know how I like my car by now that is why tom has it. tray32 hit right on it thanks

 

Thank God there were enough '32's made so everyone can have it "their way" and nobody gets bored!

 

Hey Flop. UBELIEVABLE work as usual. So. can I ask a couple of questions since I have a devil of a time welding sheet metal?

1-110V or 220V welder
2-welder settings?
3-Mig or Tig?
4-type of wire used?

I have a 220V mig welder and have a devil of a time not burning through when butt welding sheet metal. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I saw you hanging with a couple of guys at Hershey this year but was too embarrassed to come up and say hello like some star struck kid. Would have been like meeting George Barris or Gene Winfield. I probably would have just said something stupid as I fumbled over my words. Any help would be appreciated.

Thx,
Andy

 

Flop tig welds, check his Instagram there's some cool shit on there...

 

whats his Insta handle? There's a lot of flops

 

Floppgh

That´s perfection... you´re a genius. I mean, a real one.

 

All I want for Christmas is chop by Flop!!! If I only lived closer to Pittsburgh, well actually not this time of year! Don't worry about running out of unchopped 5W's, there's plenty of them left.

Don't worry, this one will never be touched. Its a 55,000 mile original V-8 car.

This one........maybe........but I think I'll leave it just the way Henry made it.

But this one really needs to be chopped! So call me a "poser" too! I would really like to do it myself so I had better keep studying Flop's posts before I get out the sawzall and ruin one of Henry's finest.

 

when to see Flop today and the car looks great, no regrets for chopping or my choice or barbers. his work is second to none. Thanks Tom

 

Vintagehotrods...you might be a hoarder.....

 

To chop, or not to chop..haha!
Nice work by the way....
I noticed another member asked, how many hours?

The first step to recognizing you have a problem is to admit you have a problem.......I HAVE A PROBLEM!!! I've been through the 12 step program at the Henry Ford Clinic and Sanatorium more times than I can count but it's no use. I guess I'll just have suffer through life with this horrible addiction and live with it!

 

Flop, if you are just a normal guy, then that makes me really abnormal. Which is sad.

 

I feel inadequate

 

Hey Freak, When you get your car home, let me know so I can come over and put some eye prints on it Bill

 

no problem Bill

 

I sleep in a van at Hershey and grill out for dinner . I’m not fancy !!

Oh you better not dare mess up Henry’s intentions at cut on that thing damn you!!
I can’t believe this debate still goes on. I wonder if anyone is mad that I replaced all the metal that rusted away on the bottom of my 32s and was no where to be found.
MMS, I hope to see that body come back to life. @Flop should be an inspiration to us all even if we fall short of his craft there will still be some bad rods on the road. I for one know that doing half as good on my chops as he will garner some cool sh?t!

Just a reminder the Hershey Preregistration paperwork arrived last week, needs to be in by the middle of February, we'll be there in nine months that will be 49 years in a row for me. Glad the hobby has young guys like Flop. Bob
