Re: Progress:chopped top 40' Ford

Fantastic work. Its hard to get me really excited about a new model concept nowdays, but this is unbelieveable!

First of all the rake and the stance is PERFECT!! like from the old hot rod masters themselves! The steelie rims with wide white wall is perior perfect and finally the top is chopped expertly.

Welcome to AF and please post more and more pics of your projects and more in-progress shots!!

Thanks again for sharing.

Great work so far!! all I see is you might need to smooth out the top of the drivers door a bit more, other than that it looks Fantastic, I like those white walls also!!

Re: Progress:chopped top 40' Ford

Hey,
That looks really sweet!! Keep it in teh primer. Keep the rims. Everything looks great..that bump over the door needs a fixin tho. But, I've never done a chop before, so what you have looks beautiful to me. Keep up the great work.

Kicks ass, looks better than some of the real '40 Street Rods!

Re: Progress:chopped top 40' Ford

Nice, I'm amazed at how much this and my 41 willys look alike. I do like the willys a little more, except for the front grill. Nice Progress. Any info on how you chopped the top?

Re: Progress:chopped top 40' Ford

Looks great. I don't know what future plans you have for it, but it looks totally hot painted as it is. Those wide whites, where'd you find them? The chop is good, too, save for the mentioned flaw. But the roof is a great angle, makes the car look mad aggressive.

Re: Progress:chopped top 40' Ford

Impressive top chop, just some little touch ups and itīll be perfect!
I agree with others about the wheels but the suspension have to be adjusted on the front a bit, othervise it would be kinda hard to make any turns with this beauty
