Chop a Kustom for me??

[shmoov69]

My buddy's 55 Dodge. He is thinking about doing a body section and wants to know what it would really look like. About a 3-4" section above the wheelwells front to back. But leaving in front of front tire uncut so it drops the bumper and grille to the ground more. Appreciate your skillz on the matter guys!
Thanks!

Ohh, that looks pretty cool with the bumper on the ground! Thanks!!
Can you make my wagon lay frame? And maybe patina the wheels? BTW- those are already 17" steels on the wagon

add "chopping the top of a car in a crowded parking lot with buildings in the background" to the list of really hard photoshops. ow. My brain hurts.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are the steel wheels from-and is that a chevy bolt pattern? (I don't recognize the wagon make/model)

Took it down another inch, moved the top forward and filled behind the rear glass. COOL car! Love the front.

Well, it is a 58 Chevy Nomad, from 58 to 61 (I belive) a Nomad was basicly an Impala trimmed wagon and did not have a "special" body like the shoebox Nomad's. The wheels are custom made from "Wheels of Steel" (yes chevy bolt pattern) and the tires are from the "Whitewall Candy Store". At the time I got them, they were the only ones doing 17"+ whitewalls. So needless to say, they weren't cheap!
Thanks for all the work guys!! That stuff looks awesome!! Any mor ideas on either?? LOL!
BTW- I wish it was a 2 door wagon!!
Allkar, got any pics or renderings of your shoebox Ford? What is the story on that?

Chop? I see the A & B pillar. What is the line on them?
Cool car!!

[ALLKAR]

Yeah, thinkin' about a chop.

Granted, it's a year newer, and there's lot more going on mod-wise, but here's a '56 I did for Custom Rodder a year ago... sectioned, but no chop works EXTREMELY well on this vintage... The extent of work involved makes the end result even sweeter.

ALLKAR, You are WAY to good at photochopping.
