Thanks for this video it's inspiring, I have a 49 myself and I'm motivated to chop it but need to do further research which way would be less of cutting ,any ideas where I can get more in details? Thanks
I’m definitely not a sheetmetal guy, but the owner of this car is going to a “chop class” in the spring to learn more about the process. You might try searching for that on google to see if there’s one of those classes happening near you. Good luck!
The diff pinion angle definitly needed adjusting..lol. 😊 Ideally it should match the transmission angle so the top arms shouldve been lengthened to kick it up same as transmission
@@mxrider278 no worries at all! I was kicking myself after realizing it was just an s10 clip and not the whole chassis after it left, and almost just did a voiceover to correct my mistake. But life goes on! Thanks for the kind words!
This one definitely has parts from a few manufacturers. But I won’t hold it against him- hot rodding is all about working with what you have available!
To have bare metal cleared is very impressive flawless car .
I have a 50 shoebox, all chevy running gear, chopped 4" there killer sleds, love his!
I built that. My first chop. My first subframe. My first interior.
Nice! I like the chop a lot- good lines on the roof and pillars.

Hey Rich! I love the car!! It just got updated air ride and 383!!!
I’d love to chat with you sometime
Pretty cool I like the look with the metal ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
That’s the coolest car I’ve ever seen!!!!
I feel like you may have a slight bias lol. But it’s definitely right up there!
I dig the car and that red shadow in ur garage. My mom had a blue 94
Thanks! I need to pull that Shelby out soon and take it for a spin- poor thing just sits

Would you happen to know of an air kit for a 1968 Ford LTD?

That’s a s10 front clipped original frame. The rails, body mounts and crossmembers are all original.
Yeah, I realized that after filming and mentioned it in the video description. But nobody reads those! Haha
Hey, sorry for focusing on something negative. I really appreciate your clips and the exposure you’re giving us to bagged cars. Keep it up!

Lead Sled
um...that's a coupe.
I’ve always called all 49-51 Fords “shoeboxes”- is that not correct?
