Another 50 chev chop

[Flipper_1938]

Never ended up using them made the back of the car look too big IMO

I thought they looked good.

I just a flapper disk at first but if I did it again I would just use a disk. Would look more even. I just used normal clear but found out later that they make an epoxy clear to use on bare steel (oh well next time).

Hey Hoitink, how did you go about polishing the steel? Just use an angle grinder and sanding disk? What kind of clear did you use? I'd like to do something similar on the exposed part of my frame.

Well here's an update for everyone. The car is still alive even though she was looking a little sad for a while. I re-cleared the car, got an interior in it almost done. Still have to work on the handles going to look for some new hardware or make something yet.

Picked up a sewing machine a while ago and started to daddle in the sewing department. This was always the crappy looking part of my builds so decided it was time to learn.

New shot of clear on the car along with a new trunk lid art

Welcome back, hoitink. The Chebby looks great. You're catching on to the upholstry game too.

Wow is right! That looks awesome. I don't know if I would be brave enough to chop or section a car like this. I am in the process of sectioning my 47 ford truck cab. I already chopped it 7 inches. And sectioning it another 5. The Chop was relatively easy. The section is a little bit more difficult specially beings that its my first section ever. lol. Your car looks bad ass though! Keep it up and keep us posted. Cant wait to see the finished project.
