Progress: Lone Fish
I decided to start a new fast paced project called lone fidh. I'm starting woth the revell 71' Hemi Cuda. The main feature of this car will be the A pillar chop but the overall goal will to be to keep it clean and stream lined.
Before Chop   After    I'll get some more done tonight and post it up tomorrow. What do you think?

Re: Progress: Lone Fish
A pillar chops were popular in the early-mid 80's from what ive heard. This is gonna be a interesting project.
I'm waiting with baited (no pun intended) breath for some more progress. Later, Troy

Re: Progress: Lone Fish
Thanks everyone, Im attempting to give the car a more streamlined lean towards the front by only chopping the a pillars.I managed to get the gap filled with some styrene and the hood pins sanded off.

Re: Progress: Lone Fish
I got evey thing sanded down so tomorrow I will be painting it.
 Here you can see how thw suspension lean complements the chop.  To use the wheels and tires I wanted it would require a larger wheel well. At first I wasn't quite sure on how to make them, then I found a solution when I went to take some tylonol. The bottle would be a perfect shape.     As a result of the larger wheel wells I had to remove the rear seats and I'm now working on patching it up.  What do you think?

Finally got time to go back to modeling after moving and working on the new house. I sanded down most of the stuff than just sprayed on some primer to see how much work still needed to be done ond to my suprise its not that much. I hope to be putting on the color sometime this week.

Re: Progress: Lone Fish
Looks really good .The a pillar chop is sometimes known as the gentlemans chop.Don't know where that name came from though.I tried this on a plymouth superbird slot car I built once.Worked out quite well.

Re: Progress: Lone Fish
Correct me if i´m wrong, but doesn´t a `gentlemans chop`also include the cutting of the B-pillar? Just so it comes loose ( not removing material) and getting a better flow in the roofline?
