Very nice work on the chop, I´ve never attempted a chop myself but I´m sure it´s pretty delicate work. More pics please!

Re: 1st choptop, 49 mercury

the paint is not finished yet its got to be wet sansed and waxed, the windows well just be cut down kit windows, because i have kept the standard angle on the windows there well be no problems, this would not work on say a 57 chevy because of the complicated screen shape.
thanks for all the comments.
