K&R Kustoms+Rods '34 5ive Window Chopped Coupe

[bill-e-boy]

Wow Kit - another way to chop a 32-34 5W coupe. I am liking it a lot. The last time I chopped a 5W I cut and stretched the turret between the A&B and the B&C pillars - a lot of cleanup work with this method. I like the step at the B pillar as this will make alignment when gluing back together a lot less stressful. The treatment at the C pillar is awesome.

I am liking all the other stuff happening with this build

I will be watching

I've chopped a lot of '32s and '34s, both lengthening the turret and not.

IMHO, the "not" version accomplished here (and a couple of other ways that work on a model but not in full-scale steel or fiberglass) makes the more attractively proportioned car in the end.

Ditto Bill...I've always found the lengthened-turret chops look a bit foreheady, ya know? My only attempt at chopping a '34 with leaned pillars was significantly more butchered than this, so it's nice to see how I should have done it, and save the photos for next time...thanks for the process photos KK!

Absolutely amazing scratch building man! I have taken a lot of inspiration from you, Denis Lacey, AceGarageGuy, and others for you scratch building skills and mock-ups. This is definitely some inspiration material.
