Re: chopped trucks thread!!!

Phatt47`s truck has no motor under the hood.It`s a mid-engine Fierro set-up.I saw it at arlisle Trucks last year.Cool Rod.
I lost my picturefiles,let me see what I can find...

Here`s one:



Personally....here we go...,I think this chop with a sectioned hood & cab would do the reproportion thing nicely.Once you chop more,then you think the hood`s too high and blunt so you pancake.That`s cool but you lose that blunt roundness that makes these trucks.I like pancaking or whatever mods when you`re going for the no panel untouched full-custom thing.But,for just a chop for that hot rod look I don`t mind the hood.Mild chop and sectioning makes a nicely proportioned custom.I like them unchopped to radical chop.It`s all good.
