Pat Minarick Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Just started working on this , I sunk the roof and made the body fit the glass.
Pat Minarick Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 Nice roof chop so far your off to a good start Thanks Aaron, it was a easy chop.I just added some plastic around the bottom of the rear window and made new trim,on the front I cut the trim loose and pushed it in to line up with the windshield post.
Shardik Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Pretty radical chop; looks low and mean. How far did you drop it? Looking forward to another masterpiece. Love the RatMad, BTW.

58 Impala Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 How did you chop the roof, did you take it all off of the bottom of the A and C pillar?

Pat Minarick Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 I have started to primer this , but was trying to think about how to do a bare metal finish on the body?

Pat Minarick Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 pretty cool october theme is 57 ford so go for it Thanks Bill, October is a yes if I can save some sick time.
Pat Minarick Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 I forgot about this thing,it is almost done just need to cut the windows down to fit.
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Nice chop technique. Leaving the A-pillars in the stock location and moving the base of the backlite (and C-pillars) forward to take up the extra distance that's usually added to the roof moves the visual mass of the car forward just a tick, and helps to achieve a more aggressive look overall. Good work.
RatRod Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Beautiful chop Pat!!! This is going to be great....as always.
Pat Minarick Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 We'd love to see some pics man. I got you some
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Without doubt, the most believable slightly-weathered bare metal finish I've seen so far on a model. How'd you do it?
Pat Minarick Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Beautiful chop Pat!!! This is going to be great....as always. Thanks John.
