Ya might get hooked up with the members of KKOA. (
Kustom Kemps of America)
(417-847-2940). Their end of the car hobby
world has included chopped tops since the heyday of Barris, Starbird,
Bailon and the Alexander Brothers. The Hirohata (sp) Merc is
still a fantastic car. If anyone can help with a chop, the KKOA
group can send you to the right person. It's not only the metal but
the glass as well. I am having a ball with my 68 SS ( cept for that
electric thang) but i am gonna have to have a flamed Merc with mailbox slot
windows before I time out. Almost anything 50's ( or 40's or
30's and some from the 60's) looked better with a nice chop.
Top have it done right, it ain't cheap. Last
I heard here in Dallas, it was $3,000 but that was a long time
back.
But driving through leeeetle slots is a rush.
Especially with a California rake. Ya can't see too far ahead and overhead
stop lights are just a guesswork thing without the little plastic viewer like on
50's Chevy's.
