49 Pontiac Panel Chop (dialup users will need to get a coffee)

[hoitink]

This is a picture show of the epic journey of a 49 Pontiac panel started it last night for a buddy and he just wanted the
hard stuff done and tacked together. So in my mind great I get to do the fun stuff and he'll finish the tedious stuff good deal lol.

Awesome job!! You do know that technically it is called a sedan delivery. Panel trucks are the pickup truck chassis.

Beautifully done (engineered) chop!
I watched in awe when Tom (Trooper) Holden Jr did our 40 Olds 2dr almost 20 years ago and have never gotten over it. Those who only see the finished project can never comprehend the vision that goes into the job, much less how FAST the angles change in the process. This is an impressive job on your part.
Again, high praise!
