    This is actually perfect timing. I’m finishing up the engine bay on my 53 and considering a chop. My buddy chopped his 49 styleline four door himself and says we could knock mine out fairly simple so this will help a bunch! Great work!

    Great job Anthony! I've done two 53's. Just like any body work, 10 different Great Body Men will use 10 different methods to get the same Great results. 🤠👍

    Personally I like the wraparound rear window, but switching to the other style should make the chop easier. Good job!

    Looking good really agree on that back window and going away from the wraparound. Will look sick when you get it crushing cans!

  • @HogshooterHotrods
    @HogshooterHotrods Před 3 měsíci

    Love it Anthony great first episode and doing it the way people did before everyone thought you had to have a pulmax and such! When you start doing some class development, I would be interested in doing a paint class tools or something similar.

    Yes! Ive always wanted to see you chop a top! I was screaming at my phone through Old Crow and Hookers and Blow builds to chop them lol! We are going to chop the rat rod build off truck 6 inches!! A bit extreme but thats what the colorado grown kid wants so I have to figure it out i guess lol. Car looks really cool!

  • @jayhelvik3563
    @jayhelvik3563 Před 3 měsíci

    Just great as always. Curious on how you'll do the back window. But I guess I'll find out next video! This is going to be a sweet car. Too bad the other car became parts.. another one gone due to incapable persons.😢

  • @kurtludwig6962

    When the time is right you may want to contact Karl Fisher. He’s a young guy who does fantastic work and does travel to put on classes for metal shaping

    • @manfordman9112
      @manfordman9112 Před 3 měsíci

      That's a great idea! I'd be down to come to a Karl Fisher class!

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 3 měsíci

      Karl would be a great addition to for sure.

  • @AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C

    I would really like to see a reverse chop. Add to the posts and make a cartoonish "big window" front.

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 3 měsíci

      Bring us a car and we can make your dreams come true!

  • @chuckster6513
    @chuckster6513 Před 3 měsíci

    Hey Anthony,
    As I am not a big fan of chopping roofs I am glad it is you cutting up that car.
    I do see a couple spots that do not yet look completely lined up.
    Maybe you will stand back and see them as well, Or not.
    Hope you get to feeling better soon.

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 3 měsíci

      Julie said the camera was making something look off but it looks fine in person

  • @martinpook5707
    @martinpook5707 Před 3 měsíci

    I am wondering about the slope of the rear screen, but I have every confidence... not entirely shared share by all judging by the sounds from behind the camera!

  • @philiphemphill4980
    @philiphemphill4980 Před 3 měsíci

    Hi enjoy your content, looking forward to the motor home conversation. Just a question could you take the bulging cab top off and install a more current flater type roof instead of doing a chop . The sceen and side windows dont look any taller than a modern sleek style car cheers from Oz

  • @lolife999
    @lolife999 Před 3 měsíci +1

    So do you make a wooden or metal template of the quarter window opening so the other side will match?

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 3 měsíci +3

      You could I guess, but we just take a bunch of measurements

  • @bradywilliams2666
    @bradywilliams2666 Před 3 měsíci

    Are you going to do anything about the weird V shape at the top of the rear window to the deck lid?

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 3 měsíci

      Oh yeah it will get all smoothed out!

  • @ericwilkes238

    Do you cut the glass

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 20 dny

      @ericwilkes238 I haven't ever before but I might try it

  • @flyskeetocustoms5979
    @flyskeetocustoms5979 Před 2 měsíci

    Just Wondering. Why no bracing before you started choppin? Will there be alignment issue if the car flexes?

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 2 měsíci

      I addressed that in the video but bottom line is the cars and it's chassis are very solid. I knew from experience it would be fine . The doors opened and closed just as good with the top on as they did with it off

    • @flyskeetocustoms5979
      @flyskeetocustoms5979 Před 2 měsíci

      Yes I jumped the gun on that question. Hadn't got far enough in the video. Looking forward to the build I will be tuning in

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 2 měsíci

      It's all good

  • @jofleetline9011
    @jofleetline9011 Před 3 měsíci

    I believe you screw yourself with the back window , you should have kept that back window frame in one piece ! Good luck with that back window

    • @HardCoreFab
      @HardCoreFab  Před 3 měsíci

      Didn't like the original back window, plan is to change it.
