Saving the beautiful accent lines in the doors and quarter windows is next level. The time saved not having to make all those again is next level.. bravo...

Thinking outside the box, I like it...works perfect on that car in my opinion because those 2 doors are too long and have too much flat area between the doors and rear fenders, Thumbs up

I'm 51, but when I started in shops in 90/91 I worked with guys who were in there 40s-80s. I wish they were around to see this. I told you I wouldn't chop this because of the difficulty level. I have seen several aero coupe chops go horrible. I stand corrected. They way you two did this kicks ass. In my head the roof gets cut to 8 pieces like a 50 Merc. This is WAAAY easier/smarter. Shortening it makes it almost simple and brings the proportions back to scale. 🫡 hats off gentlemen. I'm impressed.

I have been involved in a lot of custom, restoration and drag builds over the years. I have been fortunate to work with some really talented guys. I am truly impressed with how you two did the chop.

I've always wondered why people worry about the length of the car when it goes back together so well when you shorten it, hopefully you'll weld the side panels back into the door jambs and not have a vertical weld behind the door 😉, just thinking it would keep the side from needing any bodywork being cracked up by the doors being closed, nicely done guys

For the fenders might have to make some, do a layout in cardboard to flow with the front and rear of the wheel well. You want to do so much with this car, need to focus on one purpose, the big wheels need to make sure everything attached to them is bigger also. You have a race car now make a nice cruiser.

@ThePaintPaperHustle 9 күн бұрын

This will be a cruiser that goes to the track. It absolutely won’t be a race car. I think we have the rear fenders figured out now but we will see.

They sale a tack strip you can get at a upholstery supply. It's called Convertible Top Tack strip. It sold by the foot. It comes in 5/8" × 1/8" or 1/2" x 3/8". I have even seen older guys cut wood to go into those places.

LoL But I Love doing it and man, I wish I could do metal work. I enjoy customizing like this. I have a Convertible pickup truck I did myself and I need body work and paint one day.

Every time you show the car at an angle looks like a big VW Bug. Had to watch some chopping videos alot of pre-planning but it's metal so you can weld back together and fill in the gaps needed to get the right look. Leave the rockers gives the car a wider look and some lines

Thanks buddy. I want the car lower so rockers are going.
