Thanks Dad. For helping me chop my coupe

My parents were in town for a visit. So, I thought we could have fun with a little project...

I cannot believe I was actually considering hiring some one to do this.
We had a great time. It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

 

My father got me into all of this and now I cant even get him to pick a car or truck out so I can buy it for him he has lost all interest in old cars. You are very lucky.

 

In the infamous words of our own porknbeaner " good on you "

 

pops are great.. hope i get to do that with my kid someday!!

 

That's awesome man! I wish I could have my father back to spend some time like that. Looks like some quality work too!

 

Your top looks great. When I chopped my 3W the first cut was the hardest. Then it was easy. You'll always have this great memory of doing it with your dad. Good luck, The FOGGER

 

yup! thats pretty much how it is with my father also. I grew up knee deep in his old cars (mostly restored stockers) and nowadays I can't even drag him along to a swapmeet, complete and total dis-interest in the old car scene and if I try to encourage him to came take a look at something he
turns into a real grumpy ol s.o.b !


63dan you are lucky to have an old man like you do, make the most of while you both can.
Top job on the top too !

 

I am jealous. You guys looked like you had a GREAT time. Cherish that!!! Your Dad looks really Kool!!! My dad influenced me into this wonerful world of hot rodding. I wouldn't change a day!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Kool Kar man!! The chopped top looks KILLA!!!!!!

 

The dad, the chop, the whole deal .. is way cool !

 

Good job

Nice. Looks very good chopped.

 

wow, your not only lucky to own a cool ride that now has an awesome chop, but you also got to do it with your dad. thats big.

 

This smile pretty much sums it all up.

 

Looks pretty mean now. Good work!

how much did you take out?

 

As Bullington said....that smile on your pops face says it all...gotta dig those special memories

 

Stories like this make me miss my pops that has been gone for a long time. Nice job on the cutting now is he coming back for the welding??

The car looks great and a memory to treasure forever

I hope that those of you that have your dad, appreciate him. I lost my dad when I was fourteen, I never really got to enjoy this kind of stuff.

 

Thank you for all of the replies. We took out 5 inches. Dad went back home to Iowa. I get to do the welding. I'm counting on 29Jay to give me some pointers.
