Ajay Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Not much of a post but my new year's resolution is to try & build more in 2013 so at least it's a start !. So far I've taken a slice out of the "c" pillars In an attempt to make the roof flow more gracefully into the trunk (I'm not too keen on the "stock" chop) and slanted the "b" pillars. Thanks for looking and Happy New Year. Cheers Andy Edited March 10, 2013 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Mike Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Looks like a good start Andy, any ideas on colors yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Looks like it has a nice flow to it now. Great stance too. Keep it up. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajay Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys. Mike, I'm thinking of painting it peugeot blaze yellow which despite the name is a gold metallic colour. Tom, the body is just resting on the floor at the moment (I tend to do the body first for some reason) but I'm hoping to modify the suspension so it sits lower than the kit ride height.

Kustoms Illustrated Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looks much, much better with the re-chop! Looking forward to following this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I have always felt that the 46-8 Fords were the hardest to get a balanced chop on. They have such a BIG BULKY BULBOUS BUTT !!! When you chop them, it makes the BUTT look BIGGER YET !! Your chop flows so well, and with the tail dragger stance, it really pulls your attention AWAY from the HUGE BUTT !! Great job !!

Ajay Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Hi all, thanks for the replies. I managed to spray the basecoat last weekend but I've only just got round to taking a picture. The colour is Peugeot Blaze Yellow metallic - Zero paints dry matt so I need to clearcoat it but it's been too cold this weekend.

Ajay Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks Bernard & Glenn, porgress has been slow as I got sidetracked building a replica of my sisters Fiat 500 for her birthday in February but I have managed to finish the engine & interior and add the front windshield & grill. Next up is lowering the chassis !. Thanks for looking Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown03SVT Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The correction on the chop and the lowering changes the whole personality of this car. I digg it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
