ViperDave Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 This is "Chopper's" 50 Cadillac. It's not done yet but it is painted and foiled.
Harry P. Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Very cool...but would have been even smoother without the vent windows.
novadose71 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Nice Caddy. Verrry nice paint work. BTW Who be Chopper?
ViperDave Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Very cool...but would have been even smoother without the vent windows. Chopper is Ted Lear. We nicknamed him Chopper back in 91 when he started chopping up bodies and making all kinds of neat customs. They list him as Ted "Chopper" Lear when he has models in Scale Auto or Model Cars magazines.
scubadiver411 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Looks like another award winner from "Chopper" I have been admiring his work in the pages of model mags for several years, and yet to see one in person (maybe someday). I can't wait to see this one finished STEVE
novadose71 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I too have seen his work in magazines through the years and had a suspicion it might be him, but thought (hoped) maybe it was the first of his resin kit line(Choppers Rez Works hint, hint ) and you were building a test shot(hint,hint ). Oh well, maybe someday(hint, hint )

I can't wait to see this one finished STEVE Chopper has done about a dozen bodys that Jimmy Flintstone has now. He as a couple more that haven't come out yet. "Chopper Resins" doesn't sound bad. I haven't got into making masters for the resin companies but me and my buddy did about 18 masters for Danbury Mint. We started with the Yellow 57 Chevy Pro Street that was their best seller and we did a lot of the customs and race cars.
Lyle Willits Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 More "Chopper" models at the link. Pics # 18 through #43. http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model_clu...eeting_7152006/
novadose71 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 HHHHMMMMMM Mr. Flintstone you say. That's good to know.
Tom Kren Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Now that is SHARP great job Chopper will it be ready for Toledo????
