Re: Chopped Trucks

That means they want more money.

I have two accounts the mr48Chev which I pay a chunk of change every year and another one that is older that I usually stick photos for family members to find but the expense of two is getting to be more than I want to deal with plus having to switch back and forth at times.
I finally did figure out how to contact them.

Re: Chopped Trucks

I have gone to using Smugmug for my car show albums and some family related albums. Still an annual fee for the space I use but it is a lot easier for the viewers to use.

Re: Chopped Trucks

maybe its the photo angle, but does the back of the cab look lower than the front?

Re: Chopped Trucks

its poor background discipline in the photo, the hill behind it is running down to it. also the pole growing out of the hood and all the wires, and the wall colors. and the truck seems to be pointing downhill. terrible photo.

remember 3 steps to take better pictures:

1. get higher or lower: take even a small step stool and aim down, or lay on the ground and aim up.

2. background and foreground discipline: keep poles out of the subject, a 2d photo doesnt show depth as well as reality so it looks like they are growing out of the subject. choose an even backdrop, a brick wall, a pile of dirt, etc. clean the ground between you and the subject, watch for cracks or tracks or trash.

3. interesting angle: I am a big fan of the 45 degree/ corner shot where you get all the front/back and all of one side in the picture. pictures from the side only or front only arent very interesting. tilting the camera is even worse.

Re: Chopped Trucks

That black one is cut 2-1/2 or 3 as mine is cut 4 and the window opening is a lot shorter than that one.

I must agree; doesn't look like 6" to me (feel free to commence with the "that's what she said" jokes).

Re: Chopped Trucks

This is my buddy Jim Rosen's 48 with a 5 inch chop. I helped him chop it.

Re: Chopped Trucks

Here's a before shot of the windshield. You can just see the chalk lines on the passenger post.



And after hitting it with an axe 6 1/2 times. (I thought it was 6" but I actually took 6 1/2" out of it.

Re: Chopped Trucks

Lots of nice chop tops

I have seen many that are not done right pushed to the back yard or poorly fit windows and door gaps

Looks nice 20 plus feet away
Then you see one thats done right looks sharp

It was years after I chopped my 48 that I learned about the necessity of bracing the cab before you make the first cut on the roof.

Also I learned the hard way that you absolutely have to have the door gaps right before you even brace the cab.

More curved or wrap around windshield trucks end up heading to the scrap yard before getting finished than flat glass trucks I'd have to say. When I moved back here from Texas in 1977 there was a 56 F100 that someone had chopped that would come up for sale about once a year after the next guy who bought it gave up on getting glass cut for it.

I'm not planning on angling the windshield posts on the new cab as I did on the old one. Simply because it will save probably a hundred hours of reshaping the door frames and trim.

it may be background angle but look at the height of door at wing window then at the back of side window. I believe roof is level which put door out of level. all these things make it look worse than it is.

Ok but first reaction it looks kinda "smeared" and hard to tell it was an AD once.

Re: Chopped Trucks

This is a seriously nice chopped AD. I gave him the paint for it when I was a paint rep. It's built and owned (if he still owns it) by Cole Foster a very good custom car builder. It's as good as it gets! The funky photo in the parking lot I took outside his shop.

Re: Chopped Trucks

After driving that truck for years on end Cole sold it to Jesse James who put a few of his touches on it and had it for sale a while back. That is probably my favorite chopped AD as it just looks right and the more you look the more sneaky little touches you see.

It's also the truck I used to do my print, cut and tape chopped, stretched and sectioned version That I posted earlier in the thread.
