Chopping the roof of a '46 Cadillac hearse

- Time-lapse video of a Cadillac getting chopped.
The preparations, cutting and welding were done during one weekend, but the finishing touches and painting took a few weeks on top of that.
Sadly the cameras were there only the first weekend and the finishing touches (body soldering, painting etc.) weren't captured on film.
This might be one of the best looking chops I have seen yet. Usually I think too much is gone, but this is just right, making it flow more natural with the middle range of the car. The idea of the hearse is bad ass too!
Exceptional work! It certainly has a more relaxed appearance now! Glad that you didn’t overchop!
that’s going to be one sexy caddy I’m going to watch this from the beginning to the finished product can’t wait
The Guys In Your Shop Made This 46 hearse Look Really Coolooooool !!!!!!! Show Us More Cool Rides .......
nice now he can fit only low profile coffins
Oh yes , the whole crew are really professional at this kind of job, thanks for posting !
DAAAAAAAMN , That's crazy. Such a bad ass ride
That looks absolutely stunning! And it’s easy to ruin the proportions especially on such a long car. I’ve seen far too many extreme chops where they leave little peek-a-boo chips of glass for the windows and windscreens and the whole thing goes from 1940’s gangster ride to a blown up matchbox toy with an engine. This came out like a proper luxury station wagon that Cadillac used to do, albeit rarely, way back in the old custom commission/coach building days.
Rad! I’m working on a 47 Buick hearse.
looks awesome
After all that work, you know it's not gonna just sit somewhere and turn to rust, it's gonna live again and be loved. Good job, guys!
Looks like the beautiful old steam locomotives
SPLENDID JOB! This creation doesn't need anything
Never chopped something that big, lots of work, nice job
Wow, what a cool customization and a very cool model Cad. Wish they would have gotten all of the work done, on camera.
Hank 3....? Hot Rods....? FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!
That is a beautiful chop! Really cleaned the lines up.
1 smoking ride nice job 👌 👏
When I had my shop, I've been known to take some heads off!
Yup, definitely needed chopin'. Nice job guys.
great job guys ... always nice to see someone using a english wheel too ..
I was lucky enough to get a ride in this car with a band a few years ago back to the hotel after we played a rockabilly gig in Helsinki. I can say that this car is even more awesome in person. Coolest taxi I’ll ever get a ride in!! Hope to visit Finland again one day, great people 🖤
Gänsehaut pur so Genial🤟👍👍
Would have also been an amazing 3 door panel delivery. You did awesome. Respect.😎👌
Job very well done, and it sits Just right
Outstanding job it's freaking awesome
...now that's getting buried in style.... 😍
So sleek! Perfection!
Good ol hank 3 🤘
You really killed it😂😂😂.Looks great!
Love Hank 3 in the background. Oh and,,, VERY nice car too,
Beautiful
The first song is AWSOME!!!
Nice ,looks great!
Damn looks so fresh and nice
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous Hearse
Turned out great!!
Awesome! Lotta work,but well done!!
Love it man. Wow.
Man, that's beautiful
So informative
That looks so much better 👌
I want you guys as my neighbors.
This is cool don't listen to the purest out there they should look at it this way the others out there are probably worth more now , now I do understand some people chop tops just to do it and they look wrong this was done nice and clean done right .
Killer job killer ride
That car was beautiful to begin with...was doubtful, but love the finished product. Great use of Hank III, hell yeah hellbilly!
Came for the chop. Stayed for Hank III. great job guys.
Oikein hyvä! Really nice car. 👍
Crazy finnish People , but looks a hell of a lot better chopped so thumbs up to you guys 😎
Nicely done looks like it was just enough. I have 46 Pontiac Hearse that I'm building slowly I believe it's as tall but the windows are shorter which besides cost will negate a chop. I just wanna drive it after having it for 15 years lol
I hope you are enjoying your car, sounds as bitchin as this Cadillac
@@johngrepo9976 I still am working toward the goal as car guys know many detours on the way allot of the heavy work has been done. But along way yet from the road but its happily waiting
Also I still look at your video to keep it in my mind
beautiful machine, congratulations boy´s!
Glad they changed the wheels.
All I can say is WOW totally kool!
awesome job
This is so badass ! don't let people tell you how to build your car
Man thats a sexy car!!
Looks awesome.
a well executed roof chop...nice!
Nice,That's sick!!!
realy nice car and built, I have seen it at the A-bombers I think. loved it
SKILLS I wish I had. Sweet ride lovin it yo
So sweet, ANB
Wow! Chingon, means very nice, good job!!
Sweet!I have a 1939 buick hearse.
Excelente Trabajo., son profesionales de verdad., saludos desde Chile .
Yeah, what he said except hello from Kansas.
Same from New Mexico.
Beautiful car 👍👍👍
That is beautiful.
Love the look of it and how they made a stretched out wagon out of the Cadillac
This was the beast for 46 not stretched. My 42 #61 was baby Cad at 126" wheel base. Notice it nearly fit in garage, I think was 139" wb or larger.
Would be really nice as automatic to cruise in
A very intimidating, ambitious job, which y'all pulled off with class!
By the way, ignore the downers, they are just jealous...build what you feel, and f**k everybody else.
✌😄💥
3:40 Boy that looks nice!
awesome
chopping a car is one thing. ruining a car is another. well done, it doesnt look like a hearse anymore. it looks like a chopped station wagon.
You're opinion doesn't matter
Frankly, after the chop it looked pretty cool, but did they hafta chop the rear springs as well?
I'm just glad they didn't pinstripe corny looking spider webs in awkward spots all over the car.
They got good taste, I second this lol. I think it looks good!
lmao
Or ghetto alloys
I luv it and hope to see more of it... oh by the way I just became your 326th subscriber
Looking at these comments now, lmao, that's how you know you've done something amazing. When haters come out of the woodworks. Can't stand the fact they can't have it XD
Who the hell would want this abortion on wheels? They've destroyed a classic so send it to the crusher!
Funny how sooo many armchair critics have sooo many opinions on this , that , the other , what shoulda been done , what I would have
done , so forth . . . Bet not a one has ever taken a torch or cutter to a vehicle . . . Hot stale air ! Nice job Bro’s , despite the trash talk !
Like the little crease left in the left front fender . . . Shows history !
Brian Cook, the comment section is there so anyone can write their opinions, not just experts, not everyone likes the same looks or ideas. How many tops have you hammered?, were the proportions correct?, I've seen many terrible chopped tops, didn't look right to me, but that's just my opinion.
nice car!!!!!!!
Looks like something a starting Blues or Rock band of the 50s would drive to gigs in. ;-)
I always thought a 49 Chev with four 2 barrel carbs on a 409, 4 speed automatic and anything else in combination of four?
That's a good automobile
👍👍👍 Its a dead sled!!!
What happened to this channel? wish it had more content ,had a great start.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐PERFECTION!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Leave those oldies alone!!! 🤨
this is cool
Very cool!
what a beauty.
Gosh that's a big car
Respect!
What would it look like if you was to remove the Side Window Post🤔
She is beautiful.
Hermosos trabajo
Destroying a heritage/historic vehicle! This is what happens when you give idiots with no taste access to angle grinders!
And the result is an ugly shitbox that has been totally devalued!
absolutely stunning.
can I get the name of the song and band that was played please.
+Andrew Wales
Hank Williams III - H8 Line
Buddy Holly - Little Baby
ほしい...この動画のせいでキャデラックにハマったよ
I can’t figure out why I keep getting pulled over
How much of a chop ???
Gentleman she is gorgeous
A ladder and an English wheel, better you than me.
What's the name of the song being played during the video?
