Time-lapse video of a Cadillac getting chopped.
The preparations, cutting and welding were done during one weekend, but the finishing touches and painting took a few weeks on top of that.
Sadly the cameras were there only the first weekend and the finishing touches (body soldering, painting etc.) weren't captured on film.

This might be one of the best looking chops I have seen yet. Usually I think too much is gone, but this is just right, making it flow more natural with the middle range of the car. The idea of the hearse is bad ass too!

@bradpage8967 2 жыл бұрын

Exceptional work! It certainly has a more relaxed appearance now! Glad that you didn’t overchop!

That looks absolutely stunning! And it’s easy to ruin the proportions especially on such a long car. I’ve seen far too many extreme chops where they leave little peek-a-boo chips of glass for the windows and windscreens and the whole thing goes from 1940’s gangster ride to a blown up matchbox toy with an engine. This came out like a proper luxury station wagon that Cadillac used to do, albeit rarely, way back in the old custom commission/coach building days.

Nicely done looks like it was just enough. I have 46 Pontiac Hearse that I'm building slowly I believe it's as tall but the windows are shorter which besides cost will negate a chop. I just wanna drive it after having it for 15 years lol

Brian Cook, the comment section is there so anyone can write their opinions, not just experts, not everyone likes the same looks or ideas. How many tops have you hammered?, were the proportions correct?, I've seen many terrible chopped tops, didn't look right to me, but that's just my opinion.

Job very well done!If you notice,most stretch limos with roof work have vinyl covering to hide the ugly sheet metal work.Not only did you NOT need vinyl to cover flaws not there,but you painted it BLACK too to show total perfection to serious body and sheet metal fab work???Folks this level of work is rarely found.If I ever need a chop top done, I'll just drop my ride off there and you call me when done and I owe you big bill for the quality job.This looks untouched, as it should.

@02bottel Жыл бұрын

They should of cut it another 4" lower, Or cut the topp and made it where it would been removeable and had it a revvable pick up truck removeable topp. yet lowered 4" lower then what they did.
