"the GT" gets chopped

So took some time off from work.
Spent Thursday firing up the 283 for the first time.
Then Friday went up to Ft Longmont to see Joe.
Well we had a plan, Joe, Alex and me chopped the ol' Tudor.
Looks real sweet with the lowered lid.

Couple pictures ..
Did a couple cool things,
Chopped it 5 1/8" and only chopped the windshield 3 1/16"
Added a 1931 visor to it too.
Took the windshield header area apart. And chopped the A pillars from the top down
and reinstalled the header. ..

Pictures !

no time to fuck around, Joe was on a mission. Off with it's head !
 



thin cut off wheels slice thru old Fords like warm butter
 



Checking fit. On Tudor you can chop it in section at a time

 

Big tacks on inner supports..
 

Stand back and have a look.. I like it !









 

Yes !  still needs work. Joe will get it done right.
