It was particularly tough to open the doors after the chop.

How to make door arm rests

Love the styrene shapes. I use them for rolled and pleated interior.

How about a cowl hood for your kit Camaro?

You can step up to a larger scale very easily. It's hard to go back to the little ones though. How about a Henry J?

I have a few Minicraft kits in my stash. They are beautifully detailed.

I especially like thos 55.

I'm a big pro mod fan. I have tons of garage photos for those who want to tackle one of these.

Outstanding!

It's coming together. I haven't decided on colors yet. I'll drop in a flattie with a Franzel blower on it.

If you have the chance to find a copy of 'the book' on chopping, please grab one.

Your patience has been rewarded. Outstanding work!

Very cool 55. I bought a 510 sedan when I was in high school in 1962.

My Dad bought one new. The 348 scared my mother half to death.

The Duplicolor Monterey Red and Sunbug gold set it off.

More interior.

Sure. the interior was rolled and pleated with half round styrene rod.

The above picture is the 1/14 resin version.

Most choppers will make the cuts, spread the roof and fill the center section. I have a book on the art if chopping and it mentioned keeping the roof in one piece and moving it forward giving the trunk a longer look. That's what I did.

My Ford truck is chopped, channeled and sectioned. The axles have been moved to sit on top of the leaf springs to lower it further.

I have the body in 1/12 scale with interior and chassis. The Coyote engine, wheels and tires are available too.
