Nothing sweeter than a chopped "T" and probably one of the easiest chops to do as well. She's lovely :) A video on the top fill would be nice to see also.

TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO!!!! I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!!!!!!

Another video with good content. Look forwards to the insert. A little is sometimes better than a heavy chop. You explain in detail and that’s good for the young blood in are hobby, sport. Looking forwards to the Ardun swap as well. Take care.Tim.

starting with a near perfect body makes the chop so much easier . All the Ts I have found up here are badly mutilated, usually been through a few fires and never complete. Nice to see someone get a deceny one; thanks for the video.

Good video, thanks for taking us along for the ride. However lol, you said that car never had an insert or glass and I can assure you that when it rolled out of Highland Park it had glass and a completely weather proof cloth top.......but I know what you meant !!! I know it might be difficult to get the top fabricated and video it at the same time but I hope you can do that for us. 👍

Hi Lee and shop crew . Model T chop went really great . Will Mike paint stitches were the welds are ? Saw it on a chopped later 1930's sedan delivery back in the '70s . Red oxide primer and Frankenstein lettered on the side . There was also the wording ," Major surgery complete , plastic surgery is all we need." Weekend almost here ... have fun you guys !
